Enable a stream | FastPix Developer Documentation

This endpoint allows you to enable a livestream by transitioning its status from `disabled` to `idle`. After it is enabled, the stream becomes available and ready to accept an incoming broadcast from a streaming tool. Streams on the trial plan cannot be re-enabled if they are in the `disabled` state. The `livestreamId` must be provided in the path, and the stream must not already be in an enabled state (`idle`, `preparing`, or `active`). #### Example A creator disables a livestream to pause it temporarily. Later, they decide to continue the session. By calling this endpoint with the stream's ID, they can re-enable and restart the same livestream.
