HD streaming

Sharp video delivery

HD streaming is the transmission of high-definition video content over the internet in real time, without requiring a full download first.

HD typically means a resolution of 720p or 1080p, distinguishing it from standard definition below and 4K above.

The movie kept buffering because my connection couldn't handle HD streaming.
