Streaming is a process that happens when a person wants to watch or listen to something. The streaming process involves a users computer and a sever working together. The process of streaming starts as soon as the user clicks on the video. The sever will send the video through the Internet digital which will then start playing on the users computer.
Streaming process will allow the user to click anywhere on the timeline from which the user wants to watch the video.
Explanation of an example of streaming
E.g. The user wants to watch the last part of the video
In this example the user has clicked towards the end of the video so now the streaming process will buffer from this point onwards.
Streaming is a continiuos process which must reprocess everytime. The process includes a buffer that the video or audio is temparley stored until it gets to the time in which it can be played. A bigger file size video or audio will take longer to stream than a video with a small file size. Straeming is all web based and that is why web videos have a small file size. The progress of streaming does'nt just slow down if the video/audio is on the large size, but it depends on the user Internet speed. A slower Internet connection will take video longer to stream which will then mean a longer waiting time for the user to play it.
You can test the speed of your Internet at the website:

e.g. 12.41mb per second on a PC connection to 10.5mb per second on a wireless connection on a handfree device.
Streaming process on a computer will be quicker than on a wireless internet connection.
