ApsaraVideo Live:Create an application

Last Updated:Jan 21, 2026

Application Management is a feature of Interactive Messaging for Live Streaming that you can use to create applications for interactive messaging services. Each application serves as a unique identifier for your live interaction service. This topic describes how to create an interactive messaging application.

Usage notes

  • By default, the message history for Alibaba Cloud Interactive Messaging (IM) groups is stored for 30 days. When you create an interactive messaging application, you can set the storage duration to 90 or 180 days. Messages are automatically deleted after they expire.

  • The webhook address is used for events such as user logon, logoff, joining a group, and leaving a group. If you do not provide a webhook address, event callbacks are disabled. For more information about the callback format and authentication logic, see Create an interactive messaging application.
