Streaming means a continual display of a media without interruption. Video and/or audio transmitted is over a network for users to play the media without downloading the file. In streaming, some data may be initially downloaded to allow the user to begin viewing the material without delays. A streaming website will pre-load a portion of the media before playing (buffer) to allow a seamless experience without pausing while more media loads. In some situations when data speeds are low, the media may pause to load enough data to continue playing. Any downloaded data while streaming is used in temporary storage and deleted when complete.
