incorporating video.
Bandwidth detection to deliver video or audio content based on the
user's available bandwidth.
Streaming uses less of the client's memory and disk space, because the
clients don't need to download the entire file.
Network resources are used more efficiently, because only the parts of
the video that are viewed are sent to the client.
Delivery of media is more secure, because media does not get saved to
the client's cache when streamed.

capture video from a web cam or digital video camera.
