Over the last few years, the way we watch TV has completely changed. Along with tuning into our regular ‘episodic TV’, we are now looking for new ways to spice up our entertainment appetite. Interestingly there is a glut of entertainment viewing options currently available, and one of the most interesting trends that has taken the world by storm is ‘online video streaming’.

Now we are all streaming our content across our favorite handheld devices as much as we are watching it on our televisions or may be more than that. And the best part is the bonus of getting to watch our favorite content whenever we want. It’s quite cool, and it’s fits well to out need-it-now mindset.

That’s not to say everything is going well, few people are still skeptical about the benefits of online streaming – and we hope to put those doubts to rest.

The World Is Embracing Online Video Streaming - Why This Shift?

The plodding surge in the consumption of over-the-top (OTT) content can largely be accredited to the following factors:

Affordable cost
Infinite access to audio/video streaming content
Flexible pricing models – subscription, freemium (limited access to free content), or pay-as-you-go
On-the-go delivery over a wide spectrum of devices including desktop, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, etc.
Easy subscription and un-subscriptions
Access to original video content (like latest movies or web series)

According to Business Wire, the total number of OTT streaming platform users will touch 915 million by 2023. If you still haven’t entered the streaming bandwagon, its time you vouch in.

Ready To Join The Videostream Craze?

Streaming isn’t complicated. You probably have everything you need right in your home. Even if you don’t, you would not have to spend a lot to get it set up. The very basic things needed to be able to stream are:

Fast Internet
Happy streaming experiences begin with your Internet connection. Recommendations for different minimums for different types of streaming are mentioned below:
1. Standard Definition - at least 3 Mbps
2. High definition (HD) - at least 5 Mbps
3. HDR or 4K - at least 25 Mbps
Note, at this point Standard-definition (SD) resolution is a dinosaur. There is a good chance that you will be streaming HD more often as currently most of the TVs fall into this category. Try aiming for at least 5 Mbps of download speeds, but again, if more devices are connected this number might demand a boost.
Streaming Device, Smart TV, Gaming Console
Once you have a fast and reliable internet connection, you will need a way to access streaming services on your television. The most common ways to do this is through:
Smart TVs - if you purchased a TV in the past 10 years, there are high chances that it is ‘Smart’ – basically one which can connect to the internet and has built-in streaming apps. Sadly, your Smart TV may not have every app you want and, in many probabilities, there are no ways to add the ones you desire.
Gaming Consoles – You can do a lot more with these than just play games; yes, gaming consoles can be a center piece of your home entertainment as they allow you stream 4K movies, deliver the latest Netflix series, and even plug right into your cable service. But these are often very expensive hence not worth the investment when used for streaming only.
Streaming Devices – These devices are quickly grabbing all the attention; these can be easily plugged into your TV’s HDMI port and give you access to every streaming service imaginable.
