# Manage Streams

This page covers how to view, monitor, and manage your live streams from the Tenbyte dashboard.

***

## Your Streams List

Navigate to **Live Stream** from the left sidebar to see all your streams in one place.

</Frame>

Each stream shows the following at a glance:

| Column           | Description                                                                            |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**         | The label you gave the stream when creating it.                                        |
| **Type**         | The stream type — `Linear` for 24/7 channels or `Live Event` for scheduled broadcasts. |
| **Mode**         | The output mode — `Video` or `Audio Only`.                                             |
| **Status**       | The current state of the stream.                                                       |
| **Date Created** | When the stream was created.                                                           |

## Stream Statuses

| Status       | What it means                                                                       |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Idle**     | The stream is created and ready, but no encoder is connected or pushing a feed yet. |
| **Live**     | The stream is active and broadcasting to viewers.                                   |
| **Stopping** | The stream is in the process of shutting down after the feed was disconnected.      |

## Stream Actions

Click the **three dots (⋮)** at the end of any stream row to open the actions menu.

</Frame>

### Stream Detail

Opens the stream's full detail page where you can view ingest credentials, renditions, output URLs, and live preview.

### Stream Restart

Restarts the stream worker. Use this if your stream is behaving unexpectedly — for example, if the encoder is connected but the stream is not coming through properly.

### Stream Stop

Stops the stream and disconnects any active encoder feed. The stream will return to **Idle** status after stopping.

### Stream Delete

Permanently deletes the stream and all its configuration. This action cannot be undone.

<Warning>Deleting a stream removes its ingest credentials and output URLs permanently. Any encoder or player pointing to those endpoints will stop working immediately.</Warning>

## Stream Detail Page

Click on any stream name, or select **Stream Detail** from the actions menu, to open its detail page.

<Frame caption="Stream Detail Page">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/vidinfra/PKFzPVSqdmMsmJ-N/images/live-stream/details.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=PKFzPVSqdmMsmJ-N&q=85&s=d73159218526e01141a652791e48687a" alt="Stream Detail Page" width="1223" height="902" data-path="images/live-stream/details.png" />
</Frame>

The detail page is split into two panels:

**Left panel**

* **Preview player** — Shows a live preview of your stream. Displays "Ready to stream" when idle and updates automatically once a feed is received.
* **Renditions** — Lists all active encode rungs with their real-time bitrate usage and peak values.

**Right panel**

* **Stream ID** — The unique identifier for this stream. Use this in API calls and CDN distribution setup.
* **Type & Protocols** — Confirms the stream type and output delivery format (HLS / DASH).
* **Ingest** — Shows the ingest mode (Push or Pull) along with the stream keys or source URL.
* **Output Origin URLs** — The raw HLS or DASH origin endpoints for CDN distribution setup.
* **Webhook** — Shows the configured webhook endpoint, or `Not configured` if none was set.

<Warning>Output origin URLs are for CDN distribution setup only — never embed them directly in players. Always use a CDN delivery URL for viewer playback.</Warning>
