# POST /StopStream

`POST /StopStream`

Disconnects the incoming RTMPS stream for the specified channel. Can be used in conjunction with DeleteStreamKey to prevent further streaming to a channel.

Many streaming client-software libraries automatically reconnect a dropped RTMPS session, so to stop the stream permanently, you may want to first revoke the `streamKey` attached to the channel.

## Request body

- object
  - `channelArn` string, required — ARN of the channel for which the stream is to be stopped.

## Response `200`

Success

- StopStreamResponse

## Other responses

- `480` — ResourceNotFoundException
- `481` — AccessDeniedException
- `482` — ValidationException
- `483` — ChannelNotBroadcasting
- `484` — StreamUnavailable
