Hi @ajay1, Thanks for letting us know about this. Please share any example Meeting IDs you have with our Technical Support [here](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new) so that they can further investigate. In the meantime, please follow along on [status.zoom.us](http://status.zoom.us): [Zoom Status - Unable to Live Streaming Zoom Meetings and Webinars](https://status.zoom.us/incidents/58lqnxrt78qx) Thanks, Will ---

Thanks @will.zoom, The problem resolved on its own. I do have another question abt the same [API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetinglivestreamstatusupdate). Is it possible to get multi-channel audio/video from here? For example, different channel for different speakers in the call or does it only allow mono channel? Thanks ---

Hi, @ajay1 , Thank you for your question. Are you looking to capture each individual speaker in a call ? If so, with a [custom live streaming](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115001777826-Live-streaming-meetings-or-webinars-using-a-custom-service) service such as Chorus application ( linked below), you are able to get the audio stream as well as [create and share snippets](https://docs.chorus.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360009395314-Guide-Clipping-and-sharing-a-call) of calls.

Hey @donte.zoom , Thanks for you response. That’s right- we want to capture each individual speaker in a call. But we don’t want to use other third party services; we are using our own customer streaming service so is it possible to get stereo channel audio (one channel for each speaker) from Zoom directly using the streaming API only? Thanks ---

Hi, @ajay1, Currently, it is not possible to get multi-channel audio/vide using the streaming API - it is just one audio stream. If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the [**#feature-requests**](https://devforum.zoom.us/c/feature-requests/23)category. Best, Donte ---
