Streaming, also known as webcasting, is a term that describes the transmission of specially encoded digital multimedia content—audio, video, animation, graphics, photo images, and text over the Internet to end users.

The two types of webcasting are live streaming media and on-demand streaming media.

Live streaming is the broadcast of an event in real time over the Internet.

On-demand streaming is the playback of an archived file that is accessed via a link embedded on a Web page. With on-demand streaming, a Website visitor can access a streaming file at any time.
