# AWS::IVS::Stage
<a name="aws-resource-ivs-stage"></a>

The `AWS::IVS::Stage` resource specifies an Amazon IVS stage. A stage is a virtual space where participants can exchange video in real time. For more information, see [CreateStage](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ivs/latest/RealTimeAPIReference/API_CreateStage.html) in the *Amazon IVS Real-Time Streaming API Reference*.

## Return values
<a name="aws-resource-ivs-stage-return-values"></a>

### Ref
<a name="aws-resource-ivs-stage-return-values-ref"></a>

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic `Ref` function, `Ref` returns the stage ARN. For example:

 `{ "Ref": "myStage" }` 

For the Amazon IVS stage `myStage`, `Ref` returns the stage ARN.

For more information about using the `Ref` function, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-ref.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-ref.html).

### Fn::GetAtt
<a name="aws-resource-ivs-stage-return-values-fn--getatt"></a>

The `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-getatt.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-getatt.html).

#### 
<a name="aws-resource-ivs-stage-return-values-fn--getatt-fn--getatt"></a>

`ActiveSessionId`  <a name="ActiveSessionId-fn::getatt"></a>
ID of the active session within the stage. For example: `st-a1b2c3d4e5f6g`

`Arn`  <a name="Arn-fn::getatt"></a>
The stage ARN. For example: `arn:aws:ivs:us-west-2:123456789012:stage/abcdABCDefgh`
