Note

  • The successful execution of this request only confirms that the command is sent to the gateway node handling the stream; it does not guarantee that the mute/unmute operation was successful. The operation is executed asynchronously in the background.

  • Typically, the mute/unmute action takes effect within approximately one second. If the operation does not work as expected, retry the API call.

  • By default, each stream starts unmuted (audio and video are published normally). Each API call applies to the current stream. If the streamer disconnects and restarts the stream, the new stream resets to the initial unmuted state.

Authorization

This endpoint requires authentication.
