What is a streaming video?

Answer

Streaming videos are videos that are watched online in real-time as they are transmitted over the internet, rather than being downloaded and stored locally. Streaming offers convenience, allowing viewers to access content quickly and easily, and it also allows for a vast library of content to be available.

  • On-demand and live streaming: Streaming can be used for both on-demand content, like movies and TV shows on streaming services, and for live broadcasts, such as live sports or gaming events. 
  • Popular streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube all utilize video streaming technology.
