Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents found in the atmosphere of some planets, including Earth.

On Earth, the main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause and are westerly winds (flowing west to east).

Their paths typically have a meandering shape.

Jet streams may start, stop, split into two or more parts, combine into one stream, or flow in various directions including opposite to the direction of the remainder of the jet.

The strongest jet streams are the polar jets, at above sea level, and the higher altitude and somewhat weaker subtropical jets at.

The Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere each have a polar jet and a subtropical jet.

The northern hemisphere polar jet flows over the middle to northern latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia and their intervening oceans, while the southern hemisphere polar jet mostly circles Antarctica all year round.

Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a provider.

The verb "to stream" refers to the process of delivering or obtaining media in this manner; the term refers to the delivery method of the medium, rather than the medium itself, and is an alternative to file downloading, a process in which the end-user obtains the entire file for the content before watching or listening to it.

Video on demand (display) (VOD) are systems which allow users to select and watch/listen to video or audio content such as movies and TV shows when they choose to, rather than having to watch at a specific broadcast time, which was the prevalent approach with over-the-air broadcasting during much of the 20th century.

IPTV technology is often used to bring video on demand to televisions and personal computers.

A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a globally distributed network of proxy servers deployed in multiple data centers.

The goal of a CDN is to serve content to end-users with high availability and high performance.

CDNs serve a large fraction of the Internet content today, including web objects (text, graphics and scripts), downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications (e-commerce, portals), live streaming media, on-demand streaming media, and social networks.

A video hosting service allows individual end users to upload and share personal, business, or royalty-free videos and to watch them legally.

Users generally will upload video content via the hosting service's website, mobile or desktop application, or other interface (API).

The type of video content uploaded might be anything from short video clips to full-length TV shows and movies.

The video host stores the video on its server and offers users the ability to enable different types of embed codes or links that allow others to view the video content.

The website, mainly used as the video hosting website, is usually called the video sharing website.
