Create snapshot

Available in Classic and VPC

Create a snapshot to create a short clip of a live channel that is streaming. You can only create a snapshot when the channel is recording. When creating a snapshot, note the following:

• Snapshots can be created only after 100 ms or more of recording time has accumulated.
• You can create up to 4 hours of recording time from the start to the end of the recording.
  • If the recording time exceeds 4 hours, the last 4 hours are supported.
• When recording is restarted, the existing snapshot point in time is also reset.
• Multiple snapshots can be created based on the requested point.
