**Description**  
In testing API calls to Patch the live stream details of a meeting, I am receiving a 4927 error any time the meeting is not started. From previous investigation I expected to be able to update live stream details of any meetings. Which use case is correct?

**Error**  
4927,\“message\”:\“Meeting 81,759,171,513 has not started.\”}

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
Oauth

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
PATCH # /meetings/{meetingId}/livestream

> **[Update a Live Stream - Meetings - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetinglivestreamupdate)**
>
> Zoom allows users to live stream a meeting to a custom platform. Use this API to update a meeting's live stream information.

**How To Reproduce (If applicable)**  
Typically a call to /meetings/{meetingId}/livestream to update stream\_url and stream\_key, where body is:  
JSON.stringify({stream\_url: “foo”,stream\_key:“bar”})

**Screenshots (If applicable)**  
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Hi @HenryW,

Are the meeting and livestream both running when you submit this PATCH request?

Thanks,  
Will

The use-case is this: I set up my livestream ingest ahead of the meeting so I know the stream\_url and stream\_key I’m going to stream to. I want to update the **upcoming** meeting via the ` /meetings/{meetingId}/livestream` call with those values. The meeting is **not** live when I make the patch call.

On further testing, this call appears to work on all types of meetings. The call that returns the 4927 is this:

`/meetings/{meetingId}/livestream/status` (with a body of `action:start` or `action:stop`)

Which makes more sense. Can you confirm that ` /meetings/{meetingId}/livestream` can be run against any meeting but ` /meetings/{meetingId}/livestream/status` can only be run against a ‘live’ meeting?

Yes, we do confirm this. 🙂
