Streaming

Streaming is the delivery of audio, video, or other multimedia content over the internet in real-time, allowing users to access and consume content without the need for downloading it entirely first. This technology enables immediate playback as data is transferred in small packets, rather than as a single complete file. Streaming can occur via various platforms, such as video-on-demand services, live broadcasts, or music streaming services. Users can start watching or listening to the content almost instantly, making it a convenient way to access media. The term also encompasses various protocols and technologies that facilitate this process, including video streaming formats and codecs. Streaming has become increasingly popular with the rise of high-speed internet and mobile devices, transforming the way users interact with media.
