Can I disable YouTube live chat by API?

Question

I want create new live streams from my application, but I don't want to use live chat. I don't found the possibility how can I turn it off during creation new event.

I tried to pass an empty string or null to snippet.liveChatId, but without success. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/docs/liveBroadcasts#snippet.liveChatId

Can I turn off chat through API?

Answer 1

The snippet.liveChatId is a String returned from the server and cannot be set. It does not appear the YouTube Live Streaming API supports disabling chat at this time. You will have to manually disable chat from the Live Event's control room.
