Update a stream

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.

In case the software streaming the live, gets disrupted for any reason and gets disconnected from FastPix, the reconnect window defines the duration FastPix waits before automatically terminating the stream. Before starting the stream, you can set the reconnect window time which is up to 1800 seconds.
