Enable a stream

This endpoint allows you to enable a livestream by transitioning its status from disabled to idle. Once enabled, the stream becomes available and ready to accept an incoming broadcast from a streaming tool.

Streams on the trial plan cannot be re-enabled if they are in the disabled state.

The livestreamId must be provided in the path, and the stream must not already be in an enabled state (idle, preparing, or active).

Example

A creator disables a livestream to pause it temporarily. Later, they decide to continue the session. By calling this endpoint with the stream's ID, they can re-enable and restart the same livestream.
