Imagine you miss your favorite show’s TV broadcast because you were busy at work. Later that night, you open an app and instantly watch the episode from the beginning without waiting for a rerun. In this situation, what type of streaming model we can use, and why is it called Video on Demand?

@jssarah.johnson This situation uses a Video on Demand (VOD) streaming model.
With VOD, the content isn’t tied to a fixed broadcast schedule. Instead, the video is stored on a server and delivered whenever the user requests it. That’s why you can open the app hours later and instantly start the episode from the beginning — playback starts on demand, not on a preset time.
It’s called Video on Demand because the viewer controls when the video starts, pauses, or resumes, instead of waiting for a TV rerun or live broadcast.
By the way, what’s your plan? Wanna develop a Video on demand platform using Bubble?
