Streaming Media

From a user’s perspective streaming media has become commonplace, users are often opting for streamed media as opposed to reading the same thing in a written format.

Social media is thriving from all the streamed media being made and placed on their platforms.

Streamed media is easy to watch and takes less time than scrolling through words and pictures, the demand is for right now and users no longer wish to wait for what they are looking for.

In layman terms streaming means video whether live, or pre-recorded.

Streaming media can now be found present in most businesses, social business, and e-learning (or EdTech as it is now referred to) for example.

What is needed to stream media seamlessly is understanding that both video and audio servers are required to compress and encode the digital images for streaming.

A network with unthrottled bandwidth is top priority to accommodate streaming so that no interruptions to the output occur.

Types Of Streaming

There are three general types of streaming: constant ‘on’ streaming like radio and television and demand non-streaming like audio books and DVD’s and then there is live streaming which is in streamed real time.

Streaming can also be that of closed captioning, ticker tape or real time text.

Streaming content really is the opposite to downloading content and can be viewed before an entire file has been transmitted.

Examples of streaming media come from companies like, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, Spotify and for gaming, Twitch.

History of Streaming


Streaming came about in the early 1990’s and replaced the term ‘video on demand’.

Starlight Networks were the first company to provide video streaming and RealNetworks the first for audio streaming.

1993 saw the first live streaming of a concert by PARCs from little known band Severe Tire Damage who happened to be in the right place at the right time and the first live sports game was a baseball game, between teams New York Yankees and the Seattle Mariners in 1995 by RealNetworks.

You can in fact track back to 1881 when opera and theatre performances used to be transmitted down a telephone line!

Bringing it back to the present day and user demand is extremely high for streaming multimedia with HD (high definition) content and ‘streaming wars’ are being fought amongst the top-level streaming services such as YouTube, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+ and HBO Max.
