Hi, In order to delay a live stream, you could try using the nDVR add-on. Please take a look at this article on how to properly setup the nDVR add-on: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-ndvr-quick-start-guide](https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-ndvr-quick-start-guide) If you want to compensate for the source interruptions, delaying the live stream won’t help to avoid interruptions. The best way to avoid interruptions is to make sure you have a stable connection to your live source. Zoran
