Hi, we are experimenting with live streaming meetings and webinars, and I have noticed that it is possible to update a meeting’s live\_stream via the API, but not a webinar’s live\_stream. I am wondering if it will be possible to do so at some point, rather that using the account interface to update a webinar’s live\_stream stream\_url and stream\_key.

I’m also looking for this feature. I skimmed the change log, but did not see this feature implemented yet. Is there a particular ticket I can subscribe to updates on this feature?

Any updates on this feature? Especially for automation purposes it is frustrating that a live stream can’t be started via API. We often have conferences with up to 15 parallel webinars with live streams and the complexity without API access to start and verify those streams is tremendous. Part of the team is already looking for other webinar solutions to automate this process… I would love to stay with Zoom but its becoming a deal breaker. Any hope that this is available soon?

Thanks!

Hi! We are interested on this feature as well. I would love to have it implemented soon to be able to update and start/stop a webinar live stream.

Thanks,

FWIW, I could really use this feature as well! I see that the endpoint is there - webinars/{webinarID}/livestream and it returns a 204, it just doesn’t do the update. Do you think it might be soon, or should I start looking at doing some sort of browser automation?

Thanks,

Arlen

Can you please finally give an update on this feature? At this point, not having this feature risks developers going to other solutions to satisfy their needs.
