Thank you in advance.
You can use Streamlink or Youtube-dl to watch and record this stream in VLC.

Livestreamer is no being updated. Streamlink is its replacement and works like Livestreamer.

Use the command below to see what video streams are available

Code:
streamlink https://livestream.com/accounts/6140873/events/2549324
These are available to me:

Available streams: 270p_hls_alt, 432p_hls, 432p_hls_alt, 270p_hls, 270p (worst), 432p (best)

If you want the best stream available, add "best" to the end of the streamlink command line, like this:

Code:
streamlink https://livestream.com/accounts/6140873/events/2549324 best
VLC is the default video player for Livestreamer and Streamlink. If you installed VLC in the default VLC folder, Streamlink will start VLC automatically and the video stream will start playing in VLC. While the video is playing in VLC, select Record in VLC and the video will be recorded to your drive.
