[[File:Co-Optitude Longplay.jpg|thumb|right|Title sequence for the "Co-Optitude Longplay" episodes]]Episodes [[Episode 67|67 (Torchlight II)]], [[Episode 68|68 (Shadow over Mystara)]], and [[Episode 69|69 (Hammerwatch)]] are sometimes referred to as "Co-Optitude Live", even by Ryon in the intro to the first of these episodes, but they weren't really live. They were webcam recordings of the Days, either in their separate homes or together, playing video games, only lightly edited and made into Co-Optitude episodes. These occurred during November of 2014 when both of them were traveling and unable to record together in studio during that month. Felicia proposes the name "Co-Optitude Lofi." The title sequence refers to it as "Co-Optitude Longplay."

These episodes are sometimes loosely referred to as "Co-Optitude Live," but they do not appear to have been streamed to the public when they were recorded, and there's no indication of there being live chat that they are interacting with like in other Twitch streams. They do have the same feel as a live Twitch stream however with both players on webcams and the minimal editing, so that may contribute to the misuse of the term. In the intro of the first such episode, Ryon briefly refers to it as "Co-Optitude Live" but Felicia corrects him that they aren't really live. They toss around several other names, including "Co-Optitude Lo-Fi," "Co-Optitude Zero Budget," and "Co-Optitude Online." The title sequence refers to it as "Co-Optitude Long Play."

As Felicia explains, due to work and travel, they were unable to record regular episodes in the studio together. Rather than go without any new episodes during the month of November 2014, they decided to record these episodes.

Editing is minimal except for a modified intro sequence, a promo end card, and bleeped swears. These are by far the longest ''Co-Optitude'' episodes, ranging from about 45 to 90 minutes.

There were less formal Twitch streams on the Geek & Sundry channel often referred to as "Co-Optitude Live," though none of these streams were turned into proper episodes on YouTube.

"Co-Optitude Live" is an informal moniker that has come to refer to several different kinds of videos involving the Days, video games, and streaming. Some meanings are not directly tied with the show Co-Optitude; some are not truly live.

Streamed studio recordings

Pieces and Twister Mania live stream

On Saturday, July 18, 2015, a Geek & Sundry tweet mentions a "behind-the-scenes look at an episode of Co-Optitude" with no audio. The recording does not appear to be available anywhere publicly, and there are very few social media posts acknowledging the stream. It's unknown what episode or episodes they were taping, how long the stream was, or whether it even streamed successfully.

The next day, Geek & Sundry recorded the Twister Mania and Pieces episodes of Co-Optitude and simultaneously live streamed the recording process on the Geek & Sundry Twitch channel. The stream was 2 hours and 46 minutes long and gave a glimpse into the process of making the show and what doesn't make it into the final episodes.

These two streams on the same weekend appear to be the only live streams of proper Co-Optitude episode tapings.

Co-Optitude Long Play

Title sequence for the "Co-Optitude Long Play" episodes

Episodes 67 (Torchlight II), 68 (Shadow over Mystara), and 69 (Hammerwatch) are proper Co-Optitude episodes but they were recorded in the Days' homes, either streaming remotely from one another or in the same house.

These episodes are sometimes loosely referred to as "Co-Optitude Live," but they do not appear to have been streamed to the public when they were recorded, and there's no indication of there being live chat that they are interacting with like in other Twitch streams. They do have the same feel as a live Twitch stream however with both players on webcams and the minimal editing, so that may contribute to the misuse of the term. In the intro of the first such episode, Ryon briefly refers to it as "Co-Optitude Live" but Felicia corrects him that they aren't really live. They toss around several other names, including "Co-Optitude Lo-Fi," "Co-Optitude Zero Budget," and "Co-Optitude Online." The title sequence refers to it as "Co-Optitude Long Play."

As Felicia explains, due to work and travel, they were unable to record regular episodes in the studio together. Rather than go without any new episodes during the month of November 2014, they decided to record these episodes.

Editing is minimal except for a modified intro sequence, a promo end card, and bleeped swears. These are by far the longest Co-Optitude episodes, ranging from about 45 to 90 minutes.

Geek & Sundry Twitch streams

Title screen from the March 29, 2015 Co-Optitude Live stream of Don't Starve Together

Another use of "Co-Optitude Live" was Felicia and Ryon playing games together from their homes and streaming on the Geek & Sundry Twitch channel. These were much less formal and never intended to be proper Co-Optitude episodes.

Most of these streams are unavailable as they were not saved.

The list below is pieced together from social media posts as the only clues of when they occurred. Some mention what games were played, others do not. Some mention which of the siblings were present, others do not. It's possible some of these were not home streams but simply Felicia and/or Ryon dropping by the studio live. The details are very sparse. This list is probably incomplete.

Felicia and Ryon's personal Twitch channels

A final category that has sometimes loosely been referred to as "Co-Optitude Live" is Felicia and Ryon streaming together on their personal Twitch channels, not directly tied with Geek & Sundry at all. Felicia typically exports her streams to her YouTube channel, so they can still be viewed today. Ryon is less consistent about exporting his streams due to his practice of playing music during his streams and thus risking YouTube flagging the videos.

Today, the siblings find less time to stream together, though they sometimes make a point of doing so on the Team Hooman anniversary every September 27th.
