Short answer

How can I control livestreams with my AI?

You send text commands to your agent to start or stop broadcasts. It can also pull meeting data to ensure the right session is being broadcast. Here is how the process works.

The results of your commands

What happens after you prompt

These are the specific outcomes your AI delivers.

LIVE

Broadcast starts

The AI triggers the transition to a public feed. Your meeting becomes a livestream immediately.

OFFLINE

Broadcast stops

The AI cuts the public feed. The session remains active but the broadcast ends.

DATA

Meeting info retrieved

The AI pulls current session details. This helps you confirm you are targeting the right meeting.

HUMAN

Manual control stays

The AI only acts on your direct instructions. You remain the one who decides when to go live.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

Your agent handles the technical handshakes between your chat and the Dyte video engine.

  1. Locate the meeting

    The AI finds the specific session you want to manage by looking up its details.

    get_meeting

  2. Start the stream

    The AI pushes the meeting into a public broadcast state.

    start_livestream

  3. Verify session status

    The AI checks the current meeting state to ensure everything is running correctly.

    get_meeting

  4. End the broadcast

    The AI shuts down the public livestream when you tell it to stop.

    stop_livestream
