5. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)

streaming

    Playing sound or video in real time as
   it is downloaded over the Internet as opposed to storing it
   in a local file first.  A plug-in to a web browser such as
   Netscape Navigator decompresses and plays the data as it is
   transferred to your computer over the web.
   Streaming audio or video avoids the delay entailed in
   downloading an entire file and then playing it with a helper
   application.  Streaming requires a fast connection and a
   computer powerful enough to execute the decompression
   algorithm in real time.
