You can block users from accessing your live stream based on their country. You can also block access at a more specific regional level. For example, you could prevent viewers in California from accessing your stream but make the stream available to viewers in the other 49 US states. This articles shows you how.

When you block access by country or region, viewers in those areas cannot see or join your stream, search for your profile, or send you private messages.
