# Schedules

Operations related to schedules. Schedules allow you to automatically start or stop a live stream or transcoder at a predetermined date and time. You can configure a schedule to start and/or stop a live stream or transcoder just once, or you can configure it to repeat the behavior on a regular basis. See [About schedules](https://www.wowza.com/docs/schedule-live-streams-and-transcoders#aboutSCH) to learn more.
