You should create a new Room for each new live broadcast. If marked with ephemeral, Rooms will automatically delete after 10 minutes of no input stream. You can also delete them programatically through our API or SDK.

​
Creating a Room

You can create a Pipe Room through our server-side SDK or our REST API.

const room = await hop.pipe.rooms.create({
  name: "My Stream", // optional room name
  ingestProtocol: "rtmp", // rtmp or rtp
  deliveryProtocols: ["llhls"], // llhls and webrtc are permitted,
  ephemeral: true, // set your rooms to ephemeral if they're single-use
});

​
Deleting a Room

Please note that this will cause the ingest server to terminate your connection. This will also trigger the “CLOSED_REMOTELY” connection state on the frontend clients.

// delete by ID const id = "pipe_room_xxx"; const room =
await hop.pipe.rooms.delete(id);
