Veebivoogedega

Veebivoogedega, commonly referred to as web streams or streaming, is a method of transmitting or receiving data in a continuous flow over a computer network, typically the internet. Instead of downloading an entire file before playback or viewing, web streaming allows for media content, such as audio and video, to be played in real-time as it is being delivered. This technology has revolutionized how people consume digital content, making it possible to watch movies, listen to music, and participate in live events without lengthy download times.

The process involves a server sending data in small packets to a client device. The client device's media player begins to play the content as soon as it receives enough packets to start, while simultaneously receiving subsequent packets. This continuous flow is often referred to as "buffering," where a small amount of data is stored temporarily to ensure smooth playback even if there are minor interruptions in the data stream. Popular examples of web streaming services include platforms for video-on-demand and live television. The efficiency and accessibility of web streaming have made it a dominant force in digital media distribution.
