Delete a stream | FastPix Developer Documentation

Permanently deletes a specified live stream from the workspace. If the stream is active, the encoder is disconnected and ingestion stops immediately. This action is irreversible, and any future playback attempts fail as a result. Provide the `streamId` in the request to terminate active connections and remove the stream from the workspace. You can further look for <a href="https://docs.fastpix.io/docs/live-events#videolive_streamdeleted">video.live_stream.deleted</a> webhook to notify your system about the status. #### Example For an online concert platform, a trial stream was mistakenly made public. The event manager deletes the stream before the concert begins to avoid confusion among viewers. Related guide: <a href="https://docs.fastpix.io/docs/manage-streams">Manage streams</a>
