This endpoint retrieves details about a specific live stream by its unique streamId. It includes data such as the stream’s status (idle, preparing, active, disabled), metadata (title, description), and more.
Suppose a news agency is broadcasting a live event and wants to track the configurations set for the live stream while also checking the stream's status.

This endpoint allows you to modify the parameters of an existing live stream, such as its metadata (title, description) or the reconnectWindow. It’s useful for making changes to a stream that has already been created but not yet ended. After the live stream is disabled, you cannot update a stream.
The updated stream parameters and the streamId needs to be shared in the request, and FastPix returns the updated stream details. After the update, video.live_stream.updated webhook event notifies your system.
A host realizes they need to extend the reconnect window for their live stream in case they lose connection temporarily during the event. Or suppose during a multi-day online conference, the event organizers need to update the stream title to reflect the next day"s session while keeping the same stream ID for continuity.
