# The Real-Time Video Spaces API stops working

Calls to /video/v1/spaces* on Mux API stopped working on January 3, 2024.

On January 3, 2024, Mux shut down the Real-Time Video Spaces service. Calls targeting /video/v1/spaces* fail because the underlying APIs are no longer available. This shutdown took effect immediately without an advance announcement date recorded in the notice.

## What to use instead

There is no direct replacement at Mux, as Mux Real-Time Video was discontinued and choosing another real-time video provider requires a separate product decision. Standard live streaming remains available on /video/v1/live-streams.

Mux Real-Time Video has no replacement at Mux: choosing another real-time video provider is a product decision.
