Solid question. Normally you wouldn't want to send a stream from a URL in, you'd be accessing a microphone and streaming that audio in. I haven't tried opus stream specifically, but you can certainly try it. Is there a reason you need opus stream? That seems like an unusual format for live streaming.

Thanks for reply Michael! yeah We use opus because we are building a real time transcription discord bot for deaf gamers! And discord.js uses opus as a format… My teammates gave up in the middle so I don’t think I can finish it by 11th but still wants to get this one done :)

That's amazing! So I think you may can stream that in but you'd want to make sure you specify the encoding, sample rate, etc. in your request.
