# Terminates a live stream

`DELETE /stream/{id}/terminate`

`DELETE /stream/{id}/terminate` can be used to terminate an ongoing
session on a live stream. Unlike suspending the stream, it allows the
streamer to restart streaming even immediately, but it will force
terminate the current session and stop the recording.
\
\
A 204 No Content status response indicates the stream was successfully
terminated.
