# StopStream
<a name="API_StopStream"></a>

Disconnects the incoming RTMPS stream for the specified channel. Can be used in conjunction with [DeleteStreamKey](API_DeleteStreamKey.md) to prevent further streaming to a channel.

**Note**  
Many streaming client-software libraries automatically reconnect a dropped RTMPS session, so to stop the stream permanently, you may want to first revoke the `streamKey` attached to the channel.
