# Terminate channel

Available in Classic and VPC

Terminate a live channel. Only channels with the `READY` status can be terminated.

              Caution

              

Note the following when terminating channels.

- To terminate a channel that is in the process of broadcast streaming (`PUBLISHING`), end the broadcast streaming before terminating it.
- When terminating a channel, created snapshots will also be deleted in their entirety.
- Even if you terminate a channel, the CDN that was integrated with it is maintained. Delete unused CDNs to avoid unnecessary charges.
