# Disable a live stream

`PUT /video/v1/live-streams/{LIVE_STREAM_ID}/disable`

Disables a live stream, making it reject incoming RTMP streams until re-enabled. The API also ends the live stream recording immediately when active. Ending the live stream recording adds the `EXT-X-ENDLIST` tag to the HLS manifest which notifies the player that this live stream is over.

Mux also closes the encoder connection immediately. Any attempt from the encoder to re-establish connection will fail till the live stream is re-enabled.

## Path parameters

- `LIVE_STREAM_ID` string, required

## Response `200`

OK
