Can I hide the "End Stream" button for certain accounts?

The End stream button is available to any account that can reach the Live section, including external users

I want to stop certain accounts from being able to end a stream while still letting them watch it

There is no permission that hides the End Stream button on its own, it comes with access to the Live section
Give viewing access through the Media Library instead
- The button appears only in the Live section, not in the Media Library
- A live stream is visible in the Media Library as well, so a user can watch it there without ever seeing the button
Remove the account type's access to the Live section
- Navigate to Configure > Users > Account Type and open the account type concerned
- Remove access to the Live section page while keeping the Can view stream enabled

Enable the permissions needed to watch the stream from the Media Library
- Media Library > Can view page
- Media Library > Can view live media

As a general practice, external users shouldn’t be given access to the Live section. Give them the streams through the Media Library instead
If the user still can’t see the stream after this, check tag restrictions and any external group tag access rules, since those apply on top of the account type
User is not able to access the stream despite the permissions are enabled
