mobile streaming

Phone video transmission

Mobile streaming is the transmission and playback of audio or video content over cellular or wireless networks to smartphones and tablets.

Unlike downloading, streaming delivers content continuously in real time: I was mobile streaming the game during my commute.

The practice has transformed how people consume media, making entertainment accessible anywhere with a data connection.
