Hi @farajayh, thanks for posting and using Zoom 🙂

You can set up live streaming through the [Meeting Live Stream API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetinglivestreamupdate).

Let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks. I have tried setting up a live stream but I’m getting an error,  
“code”: 4928,  
“message”: “You do not have permission to live stream.”  
NOTE: I’m using the websdk and I have a pro account with live streaming turned on

Hey @farajayh,

It seems you have a basic free account. [Please make sure the host user is licensed.](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360028478292-Streaming-a-Meeting-or-Webinar-on-YouTube-Live)

Thanks,
