Stream live inputs can now be disabled and enabled
Live inputs can now be disabled to reject incoming RTMPS and SRT connections, allowing you to pause broadcasts temporarily, programmatically end creator streams, or prevent new broadcasts on a specific input without deleting it.
You can now disable a live input to reject incoming RTMPS and SRT connections. When a live input is disabled, any broadcast attempts will fail to connect.
This gives you more control over your live inputs:
- Temporarily pause an input without deleting it
- Programmatically end creator broadcasts
- Prevent new broadcasts from starting on a specific input
To disable a live input via the API, set the enabled property to false:
curl --request PUT \
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/stream/live_inputs/{input_id} \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
--data '{"enabled": false}'
You can also disable or enable a live input from the Live inputs list page or the live input detail page in the Dashboard.
All existing live inputs remain enabled by default. For more information, refer to Start a live stream.
