Hello.

I am new to website development and started a simple webapplication. In this app I want to be able to show the status of a LIVE stream (Active / NOT Active).

How can this be accomplished within Laravel 5.4?

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can setup a development wowza server (development license is valid for 180 days, you can extend is as long as you want). From there on you can run a test live/vod stream, open te API config/settings
