Adaptive streaming is a method used to deliver multimedia content, such as videos, over computer networks. This technique actively monitors the viewer’s network conditions and adjusts the quality of the video stream accordingly.

If the viewer’s internet connection is strong and stable, the streaming service will provide a higher resolution video for a clearer and more detailed viewing experience. Conversely, if the network connection weakens or becomes unstable, the service will automatically lower the video resolution to prevent buffering and interruptions.

This dynamic adjustment ensures that viewers enjoy a smooth and continuous streaming experience, regardless of fluctuations in their internet connection.
