Streaming

Streaming refers to the continuous transmission of audio or video files over the internet. Unlike traditional downloads, where a complete file must be saved to a device before it can be viewed or listened to, streaming allows users to access content in real-time, enabling immediate playback without long wait times. This technology is commonly used for services that deliver music, movies, and live broadcasts, facilitating an on-demand viewing experience. Streaming relies on data packets being sent over the internet, which are then buffered and played back with minimal delay. It has become a dominant mode of media consumption, with various platforms and applications supporting a wide range of content types, from videos and music to live sports and gaming.
