**Description**

We have some meetings in which we do not receive any data at all. We have 3 retries in place. Sometimes the retries help, sometimes they don’t.

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
`https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/<meeting_id>/livestream`

**Example**  
Meeting ID `93038109421`  
Date: `May 6`  
Time: `10:00PM Israel Daylight Time`

Thanks.

Hi @arik.sapojnik,

Thanks for reaching out about this.

To clarify, is the issue with receiving a response from the [GET Livestream Details](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/getlivestreamdetails) endpoint—and the details are blank? Or, are you starting a Live Stream via API and not seeing it take effect?

Let me know if you can confirm a few more details when you have a chance—thanks!  
Will

Thanks @will.zoom for the prompt reply.  
We are starting a live stream, seeing the “Preparing” notification, but nothing happens and the notification disappears. We try again, see the “Preparing” notification once again, and once again the stream doesn’t start.  
This doesn’t happen to all the meeting, but rather sporadically.

Hi @arik.sapojnik,

Thank you for confirming these details.

The next time you experience this, can you please share the exact meeting details in a ticket with us (Meeting ID, approximate time you ran into this issue). This will help us to further debug.

Thanks,  
Will

Hi @arik.sapojnik,

My apologies, I meant to clarify at [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us). The reason I say the next time is because our logs do not go as far back as May 6 at this point. If you can provide an example within the last 10 days and the timestamp, this will help us to further investigate.

Thanks!  
Will

@will.zoom  
Thank you. Please see another example:

Date: June 15  
Meeting start: 11am PT  
zoom url: [Launch Meeting - Zoom](https://chorus.zoom.us/j/97139367444)

I would really appreciate if the team could look into it before the logs expire.
