**Description**  
Since the past 2 days, we have been unable to stream Zoom calls using the real-time streaming API as mentioned [here](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetinglivestreamupdate). It’s not working and our users have been experiencing difficulties. How can we fix this?

**Error**  
The problem is that it seems Zoom has made an API parameter - ‘page\_url’ mandatory abruptly, which was optional before so we were passing an empty string. What’s the use of ''page\_url"? Since it was working for us before, it seems like we have no use of ‘page\_url’ so how can we fix this?

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

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

**How To Reproduce (If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Choose the following as the body in the API request

{  
“stream\_url”: “{YOUR\_RTMP\_SERVER\_URL}”,  
“stream\_key”: “{MEETING\_ID}”,  
“page\_url”: “”  
}

Hi @ajay1 – thank you for your insight on this. The “page\_url” field requirement is a breaking change and our engineers are looking into this issue.

We apologize for the inconvenience and any challenges this change may have caused.

We’ll have the change logs updated to reflect updates once this been rectified.

In the interim, please fill out the field to fix this.

Sincerely,  
Gianni
