This endpoint allows you to modify the parameters of an existing live stream, such as its metadata (title, description) or the reconnectWindow. It’s useful for making changes to a stream that has already been created but not yet ended. After the live stream is disabled, you cannot update a stream.

The updated stream parameters and the streamId needs to be shared in the request, and FastPix returns the updated stream details. After the update, video.live_stream.updated webhook event notifies your system.

Example

A host realizes they need to extend the reconnect window for their live stream in case they lose connection temporarily during the event. Or suppose during a multi-day online conference, the event organizers need to update the stream title to reflect the next day"s session while keeping the same stream ID for continuity.
