Multimedia resources: sound, graphics, video and animation

Multimedia web pages can include sound, graphics, video and animation.

Remember that the more audio and video files you have on your website, the more disk space and bandwidth you will need.

The most popular is streaming, which allows users to listen to online radio, watch a video or watch the news online.

Streaming is done from the server where your website is hosted. Streaming sends the audio/visual file to the user without downloading the information to the user’s computer – it does not allow the user to save the files to their computer.

If you wish to allow your users to download and/or save the file to their computer, you will need to upload the audio/visual file to your server and create a download link on your website.
