Any way to Keep LiveStream active on Youtube Livestream?

Question

I'd like to livestreaming my lectures to Youtube with youtube-livestreaming-api.

I create new live events when the lectures start and I transit my LiveEvent to completion when the lectures end.

The problem is break-time. when break-time short, I don't need to change or insert LiveStream because the Live Stream is still active even though LiveEvents stop. The problem is when the break-time long, the Live Stream turns to inactive. so I can't transition to testing and live. Is there any way to keep LiveStream active?

Any Suggestion? or Any Idea?

Answer 1

You may use the LiveBroadcasts:transition and should confirm that the value of the status.streamStatus property for the stream bound to your broadcast is active

A liveStream resource contains information about the video stream that you are transmitting to YouTube. The stream provides the content that will be broadcast to YouTube users.

HTTP request

POST https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/liveBroadcasts/transition 

Note: This request requires authorization with at least one of the following scopes.

The parameter broadcastStatus identifiees the state of which the broadcast is changing. Note that to transition a broadcast to either the testing or live state. live is visible to its audience. YouTube transmits video to the broadcast's monitor stream and its broadcast stream.
