public sealed class Event : IMessage<Event>, IEquatable<Event>, IDeepCloneable<Event>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Live Stream v1 API class Event.
Event is a sub-resource of a channel, which can be scheduled by the user to
execute operations on a channel resource without having to stop the channel.
When this field is set to true, the event will be executed at the earliest
time that the server can schedule the event and
[execution_time][google.cloud.video.livestream.v1.Event.execution_time]
will be populated with the time that the server actually schedules the
event.
The time to execute the event. If you set
[execute_now][google.cloud.video.livestream.v1.Event.execute_now] to
true, then do not set this field in the CreateEvent request. In
this case, the server schedules the event and populates this field. If you
set [execute_now][google.cloud.video.livestream.v1.Event.execute_now] to
false, then you must set this field to at least 10 seconds in the future
or else the event can't be created.
