SnapshotTemplateId	String	No	f5b228fe693*****bf55bd87789	The ID of the snapshot template. We recommend that you create a snapshot template before you specify the ID of the snapshot template. If you set the SnapshotTemplateId parameter, all the other request parameters except the Action and VideoId parameters are ignored.

UserData	String	No	{"MessageCallback":{"CallbackURL":"http://test.test.com"},"Extend":{"localId":"xxx","test":"www"}}	The custom configurations, including the configuration of transparent data transmission and callback configurations.
