Adaptive Bitrate Streaming
A streaming technology that dynamically adjusts the quality of a video stream in real-time, based on the user's current network conditions. This ensures smooth playback with minimal buffering by seamlessly shifting between different bitrates depending on the available bandwidth and device capabilities.
What is Adaptive Bitrate Streaming?
Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) is a cutting-edge streaming technology that dynamically adjusts the quality of a video stream in real-time, based on the viewer’s current network conditions. Instead of delivering a single video file at a fixed quality, ABR continuously monitors the user’s internet speed and device capabilities to deliver the best possible viewing experience. This approach minimizes buffering and ensures that viewers receive the highest quality video their connection can support.

Video Streaming Services: Platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu use ABR to deliver consistent video quality to users with varying internet speeds, enhancing user experience.
Live Broadcasting: Sports events, news broadcasts, and live concerts leverage ABR to ensure that viewers experience uninterrupted streams, even in regions with unstable internet connections.
E-Learning Platforms: Educational video content can be delivered smoothly across different devices and networks, ensuring accessibility for students regardless of their location or connection quality.
Corporate Webinars: Businesses utilize ABR for hosting webinars and virtual events, ensuring that participants can engage without interruption, regardless of their network conditions.
