## Stream live inputs can now be disabled and enabled

Feb 24, 2026 

[ Stream ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/) 

You can now disable a live input to reject incoming RTMPS and SRT connections. When a live input is disabled, any broadcast attempts will fail to connect.

This gives you more control over your live inputs:

* Temporarily pause an input without deleting it
* Programmatically end creator broadcasts
* Prevent new broadcasts from starting on a specific input

To disable a live input via the API, set the `enabled` property to `false`:

```bash
curl --request PUT \
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/stream/live_inputs/{input_id} \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
--data '{"enabled": false}'
```

You can also disable or enable a live input from the **Live inputs** list page or the live input detail page in the Dashboard.

All existing live inputs remain enabled by default. For more information, refer to [Start a live stream](https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/stream-live/start-stream-live/).
