Streaming Started

A streaming started event emits when Daily begins to stream a call. These can be activated via startLiveStreaming() or via the REST API.

Webhook Events

There are five common fields all events share:

string

Represents the version of the event. This uses semantic versioning to inform a consumer if the payload has introduced any breaking changes.

string

Represents the type of the event described in the payload.

string

An identifier representing this specific event.

object

An object representing the event, whose fields are described below.

number

Documenting when the webhook itself was sent. This timestamp is different than the time of the event the webhook describes. For example, a recording.started event will contain a start_ts timestamp of when the actual recording started, and a slightly later event_ts timestamp indicating when the webhook event was sent.

Payload

The semantic version of the current message.

The type of event that is being provided.
