[Player Configurator](https://help.dev.lightcast.com/media-player#player-configurator) # What happens if my simulated LIVE Stream for YouTube goes past the scheduled end time? The live stream will end shortly after the event's end time. Please make sure to configure the event time of your simulated live event based on the video duration of the video you are choosing to live stream. You can also add a little time-buffer when scheduling the event end time to be on the safe side, but since videos have a fixed duration, you don't really need a buffer. Just make sure that the event duration is as long as the video duration.
