Is there a way to start live streaming using zoom api or sdk ? I’ve tried [PATCH][https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/94800816704/livestream](https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/94800816704/livestream) with necessary parameters for livestreaming, but as I understood, this only works to update an existing livestream.

Hi @aapalanjuk  
Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum and welcome to our community! I am happy to help here!  
Unfortunately, we do not have an endpoint to start the live streaming during a meeting only to update it by the endpoint you have shared.

I hope this helps,  
Elisa
