Hi,

I have used server side API to block/unblock camera stream. Is it possible to stream a JPEG file continuously displaying something like “Live stream is unavailable” when camera is blocked?

How can I achieve this? Please give me steps.

Thanks,

Shrini

Hello, please take a look at this guide:

[How to loop a pre-roll until a live stream starts (ModuleLoopUntilLive)](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/34753)

You could create a short clip of your image and loop it until the live stream becomes available.

I hope this answers your question.

Kind regards,

Salvadore
