Streaming refers to the process of sending a video or sound file over the Internet in pieces. It allows the viewer to begin seeing the video before the entire file has been received. While the video is being watched, the remainder of the file is transferred. The other method, downloading, requires that the entire file be transferred before the video can be viewed. Both webcasts (see Webcast) and videoconferences can be recorded and posted on the Internet as streaming video.
