Streaming Media
UW Information Technology provides streaming media services for UW staff, faculty, courses, and departments. Streaming media allows you to embed videos, music, and other digital media types directly into a Web site, or allow viewers to watch the media on a client such as Windows Media Player, Video LAN Client (VLC), or Quicktime without having to download the entire file first. Users can "stream" the media, which is a technology that allows media to be viewed while it is still loading in the background. Streaming videos make content easily accessible to a wide array of audiences.
