streaming platform

Online video service

A streaming platform is an online service that delivers video, audio, or other media content directly to users over the internet, typically for a subscription fee or with advertisements.

Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube are prominent examples.

Unlike traditional broadcast or physical media, streaming platforms allow on-demand access to vast libraries of content across multiple devices.

I canceled cable and now just use streaming platforms for everything.
