Video Streaming

Video streaming refers to the process of transmitting video content over the internet in real-time, allowing users to watch videos without having to download the entire file first. This technology enables the delivery of video content—such as movies, television shows, or live events—directly to users’ devices, including computers, smartphones, and smart TVs. Video streaming can be done through various platforms, with content delivered using video codecs and streaming protocols that ensure smooth playback. Services offering video streaming often include features like on-demand viewing, live streaming, and the ability to pause, rewind, or fast-forward content. Popular examples of video streaming platforms include Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and Twitch. Streaming can be supported by different internet speeds and bandwidths, but higher quality video experiences often require faster connections.
