Ever wonder why YouTube videos play smoothly even on slow internet?....

Adaptive Streaming works by breaking the video into small chunks, each available in multiple resolutions (e.g., 240p, 480p, 1080p). Your video player constantly measures your available bandwidth. Based on this, it requests the next chunk in the highest possible quality that won't cause buffering. If connection drops, it smoothly switch to a lower quality chunk. If connection improves, it requests higher quality again. This constant dynamic switching is what gives you uninterrupted playback!
