This is a timeline of online video.
Contents
Overview
| Time period | Key developments in Online Video |
|---|---|
| 1995–2004 | Early days of the world wide web. Several container formats for streaming the first videos are released. Some sites, like Newgrounds, heavily rely on these container formats to display online video. |
| 2005–2010 | Mass-streaming services like YouTube and Netflix become massively popular for streaming online video. Broadband penetration increases, allowing significant fractions of the population to stream online video. Macromedia Flash is the most popular format for displaying online video, as it is used by YouTube and many other sites. |
| 2011–2016 | HTML5 starts to displace Flash. Livestreaming becomes increasingly popular, especially in the form of services like Twitch.tv.
