Audio-video streaming

Audio-video streaming is a method of delivering live or prerecorded media content over the internet, enabling users to watch or listen without downloading the entire file first. The data is transferred continuously in small segments, allowing playback to begin almost immediately and adapt to varying network conditions. This process relies on compression algorithms to reduce file size, making streaming efficient. Examples include watching videos on YouTube or listening to music on Spotify. It provides a seamless experience by dynamically adjusting the quality based on your internet connection, ensuring smooth playback without waiting for complete downloads.
