Last Updated:Sep 11, 2025

Sets the background for a playlist.

Operation description

  • First, create a production studio in playlist mode. Then, you can call this operation to add background materials. To create a production studio using an API, see CreateCaster.

  • You can use this operation to create, update, or delete the background of a playlist. To delete the background, leave the ResourceType, ResourceUrl, and MaterialId parameters empty.

Important
  • If you use ApsaraVideo VOD resources, prioritize resources from hosted buckets because resources from your own buckets may expire. If you use resources from your own buckets, take note of their expiration dates.

  • For material resources, prioritize resources from ApsaraVideo Live and ApsaraVideo VOD. Resources from third-party URLs may fail to play. You must ensure the quality and validity of these resources.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
