Avatar Selection using Streaming API

Hi,

I'm implementing a solution using HeyGen's Streaming API, and so far I've been using the default avatar for that. But I saw on the website that we also have the option to use any of ours existing HeyGen Studio Avatars, but I'm not sure properly on how does that work. I know we can specify the avatar_name, but I couldn't find a place to get it.

I then tried using the Avatar's API (both V1 and V2) to get the list of all the available avatars, but none of the avatar_names seems to work. Is there anything I might be missing? Also, is it possible to upload my own avatars? Does the streaming api work with photo avatars?

Thanks!
