Ending a Livestreaming Task

See Table 2.

Table 2 Ending a livestreaming task

Scenario

Operation

Ending a livestreaming task as a tenant

A tenant can end a livestreaming task:

Automatically ending a livestreaming task

To protect tenants' interests, a livestreaming task will be automatically ended when:

  • There is no RTMP stream push on the MetaStudio console and the playback window has been closed for about two to three minutes.
  • APIs are called for livestreaming, there is no RTMP stream push, and viewers have left the RTC room for about two to three minutes.

Freezing a livestreaming task

If the live content involves compliance risks, the service O&M personnel directly freeze the livestreaming task on the O&M page.

Live Video Playback

See Table 3.

Table 3 Live video playback

Live Video Playback

Operation

Controlled by a tenant

MetaStudio allows controlling livestreams so that streamers can capture a complete live video.

Before starting livestreaming, deselect Automatic livestreaming after loading on the console (that is, set play_policy.auto_play_script to FALSE). After a livestreaming task is started, livestreaming will not start until the tenant's instruction of starting livestreaming is sent (for API calling, the play_start instruction is sent through the RTSA COMMAND instruction). Before the instruction is sent, the virtual streamer remains silent.

Live Content Review

See Table 4.

Table 4 Live content review

Content Review

Operation

Live room content review

Content review on MetaStudio:

  • By default, each configuration item of a live room, such as the live room name, description, text, audio, video, and image, will be automatically reviewed to eliminate risks of violation and avoid generating illegal live content.
  • If a tenant has interconnected with another content risk control system and is committed to being responsible for content risk control, the tenant can submit a service ticket to disable content review on MetaStudio.
  • If complaints about live content are received, MetaStudio will freeze the live rooms and livestreaming tasks that violate the regulations in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. When necessary, all resources of the tenant will be frozen.
