VOD

Video On Demand

A system that allows users to watch videos or other multimedia content whenever they want, rather than having to follow a predetermined schedule. With VOD, users can access a wide variety of content, including movies, TV shows, documentaries, educational videos, and more, and choose which ones they want to watch at their convenience.

VOD systems typically involve a central server or content delivery network (CDN) that stores the video files and streams them to users over the internet. Users can access VOD content through a variety of devices, including computers, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and streaming devices like Roku or Apple TV.

Some examples of popular VOD services include Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Disney+. Many traditional TV networks and cable companies also offer VOD services as part of their subscription packages, allowing users to watch their favorite shows and movies on demand.
