Distributing Video and Audio Files

Distributing video and audio files usually involves these steps:

1. Create a video or audio file in streaming media format.
2. Publish the video or audio file to a streaming media server.
3. Let your audience know about the link to the published video or audio file by e-mail or advertisements.

Your audience can then open this link in a browser or a media player to view the file.  Streaming media files are streamed, not downloaded.
