Disable a stream | FastPix Developer Documentation

This endpoint disables a livestream by setting its status to `disabled`. Use this to stop a livestream when it's no longer needed or must be taken offline intentionally. A disabled stream can later be re-enabled using the enable endpoint — however, if you're on a trial plan, re-enabling is not allowed once the stream is disabled. #### Example A speaker finishes their live session and wants to prevent the stream from being mistakenly started again. By calling this endpoint, the stream is transitioned to a `disabled` state, ensuring it's permanently stopped (unless re-enabled on a paid plan).
