Streaming is a technology that allows you to send content over the Internet to computers and mobile devices without having to download it.
How does the INTERNET work? | ICT #2
Streaming involves sending data (usually audio and video, but increasingly other types) as a continuous stream, allowing recipients to watch or listen almost instantly without having to wait for the download to complete.
In general, streaming is the fastest way to access internet-based content. When you stream something, you can use the content before the entire file has downloaded.
For example, play a song on Apple Music or Spotify and click Play to start listening almost instantly. You don’t have to wait for the song to download before the music starts. This is one of the great things about streaming: it delivers data to you when you need it.
