Real-time media content transmission over the internet, including TV series, films, music, and video games, is referred to as streaming and entertainment. Users have the option to watch or listen while the content is being transmitted, as opposed to downloading files. In the realm of video streaming, major players such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max are in the lead, whilst Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal are the leaders.
Due to its convenience, availability of content on demand, and wide range of media, streaming has drastically transformed how consumers consume entertainment. Common characteristics include subscription-based services, exclusive original content, and live broadcasting (similar to Twitch for gaming).
