What is Audio streaming?

Audio Streaming

Audio streaming is a technology that allows the steaming of audio files, such as music or voice-overs to your computer over the Internet. Usually, first you need to download an audio file in a format like MP3, WAV, WMA etc. if you want to listen to music, or any other type of audio. However, in case of audio streaming there’s no need to download the whole audio file first.

In audio streaming, the audio file is delivered in small “packets”. As the data arrives it is buffered for a few seconds and then playback begins. More data is constantly arriving (or streaming) as the audio is playing. As long as there is a steady stream of these packets delivered to your computer/mobile phone, you will hear the audio without any disruptions.

In the case of a live streaming platform, the process is similar, but with a key difference. Instead of playing pre-recorded audio, the platform transmits audio in real-time, allowing audiences to listen as the event unfolds. This streaming technology enables users to broadcast live performances, podcasts, or announcements directly to listeners, creating an engaging experience without waiting for files to download. For seamless audio delivery, a reliable live streaming platform ensures that data packets are consistently sent and received, maintaining high-quality audio output with minimal latency.

Introducing TrueComply: Scaling Video Compliance with AI Automation

Video compliance has always been a critical requirement for broadcasters—and today, OTT platforms, streaming services, and enterprise video teams face the same challenge at a much larger scale.

Every video must pass compliance checks before release. And whenever regulations or platform policies change, entire video libraries need to be revalidated. Manual reviews make this slow, expensive, and error-prone, often delaying launches and increasing operational risk.

This webinar introduces TrueComply, an AI-powered compliance engine that automates video reviews, validations, and required compliance edits—helping teams keep content compliant continuously and at scale.

What this Webinar will Cover:

Why Video Compliance Is Breaking at Scale
The limitations of manual reviews, spreadsheets, and region-by-region workflows.
How AI Is Transforming Compliance Operations
Using automation to flag risks, enforce rules, and reduce dependency on human moderation without compromising accuracy.
Inside TrueComply: How It Works
A practical demo of how TrueComply centralizes compliance management, automates checks, creates detailed reports, and scales across regions and content types.
Real-World Use Cases
How video businesses can apply AI-driven compliance to real publishing workflows.
