Streaming refers to the continuous transmission of audio or video files from a server to a client over the internet or a network. This process allows users to access and consume content in real time without the need for downloading the entire file before playback. Streaming has become popular with the rise of online media services, enabling users to watch movies, listen to music, or view live broadcasts on demand.
The content is sent in a compressed format, allowing for faster delivery and playback, and often includes features such as pause, rewind, or fast-forward. Streaming can occur in various formats, including live streaming (real-time transmission of events) and on-demand streaming (accessing recorded content at any time).
Common platforms for streaming include Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, and various gaming services. Streaming technologies utilize protocols that ensure smooth delivery, adjusting the quality based on the user’s internet bandwidth. Overall, streaming represents a shift in how content is consumed, moving away from physical media and traditional broadcasting methods to a more flexible, accessible digital model.
