Actually you can change this text. Confusingly it’s _not_ when setting up the custom live stream settings ([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetinglivestreamupdate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetinglivestreamupdate)) but when enabling the custom live stream ([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetinglivestreamstatusupdate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetinglivestreamstatusupdate)). ---
