streaming service
Online video provider
A streaming service is an online platform that delivers video, music, or other media content on demand over the internet.
Unlike traditional broadcast or physical media, streaming services let users watch or listen instantly without downloading: Netflix and Spotify are the streaming services I use most.
The term usually implies a subscription model, though some services are ad-supported or offer individual purchases.
