# Livestream Input

Livestream Input in Google Cloud is a resource that represents an input endpoint for ingesting live video streams into the Livestream API. It defines how video content is received, including input type, protocol, and security settings. This input can be connected to a channel for processing, transcoding, and delivering live video to viewers.
