I wondered whether an embeddable widget is available; one which can be set to display the broadcast status of certain or all live events.

Specifically, I’d like my site visitors to be able to see when a live broadcast is ‘on the air.’

Hi Adam,

This would have to be developed outside of Wowza.

You can use use the REST API to request a status of any live stream and then change the status of the “On Air” widget.

Here are some [examples](https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-streaming-engine-rest-api-query-examples-curl)for REST API queries that you can look over to learn more.

Further details on how to enable and use REST API are located [here](https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-streaming-engine-rest-api).

Regards,

Alex
