Is there any timeout to change broadcast status to "COMPLETE" from "LIVE" automatically when It's not receiving any data(stream) on YouTube.

  • If you check the [YouTube live FAQs](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6273849?hl=en), there is no mention of such timeout seconds. Everything is done in your encoder. YouTube will detect you stopped sending content and stop the stream for you. – ReyAnthonyRenacia Oct 07 '17 at 16:28
  • I can see that it will display blank screen when it is not receiving data(stream) and broadcast never(tested for 2-3 hours) stopped. – Softobiz T Oct 09 '17 at 06:19
  • There should be a default timeout where YouTube broadcast should be stopped when not receiving any stream. – Softobiz T Oct 09 '17 at 07:50
  • I've reached this place when searching for "youtube stream timeouts". Because it does just that - when my connectivity breaks for a while (power outage for more than 5-10 minutes) it just ends the stream. I still haven't found out the exact timeout, but it definitely ends the stream at one point. – Ivailo Alexandrov Feb 17 '20 at 14:22

About 30-60 minutes timeout on live events. If you don't send data within this time, they will close the event.

    Do you have any documentation that might support your answer? If so, can you please include the link? – Doug F Mar 27 '19 at 17:00
