Streaming means watching video in ‘real time’ rather than downloading a file to your computer or tablet and watching it later.
Streaming relies on your internet connection to run fast enough to show the video in real time. An event encoded for streaming is highly compressed to use as little bandwidth as possible.
If there is an interruption due to congestion on the internet, the video should automatically lower in quality, if there is a complete loss of internet the stream will stop and the screen will go blank
To minimise this problem, your computer stores 2-3 seconds of video as a ’buffer’ before you start watching. If there’s a drop-out this pre-stored video is played until there is no more in the buffer, then it usually stops and display a message – ’buffering’ – while it catches up.
