Video streaming is the act of watching a video content without having to download it using a browser or an application. In greater detail, video streaming is the consistent delivery of video files from the server to the user device in chunks, one after the other. When you watch a video on YouTube or Netflix, or when you attend a live event or an online meeting, you are engaging in video streaming. The video streaming methodology is not new; it has been around for decades. There has been industrial and academic research into the various methods of video streaming.

Video streaming is based on data streaming principles, in which all video file data is compressed and then sent small chunks to a requesting device. A compatible video player is typically required to connect with a remote server, which includes a pretaped or pre-stored file type or live feed. The server compresses the media file or data for transmission over the network or Internet using specific algorithms.
