00:00Or have you ever wondered how the video starts instantly when you press the play button on Netflix?
00:04Maleji, you want to watch your favorite movie or web series on Netflix
00:08You press the play button and the video starts playing in a few seconds.
00:11But where does this video come from?
00:13Netflix stores its movies and shows on Parfl servers located around the world.
00:17But Netflix doesn't stream the entire movie to your phone or TV at once.
00:21Instead, the web breaks up the video into thousands of smaller pieces.
00:24Those called dada packets
00:26As you press the play button
00:27These packets reach the device through the internet.
00:30Netflix uses a technology called CDN.
00:33i.e. Content Delivery Network
00:34In this system, copies of famous movie shows are already stored on servers near you.
00:39So the video is not sent from any other country but from servers located near you.
00:43This is why the video loads very fast.
00:46Not only this, Netflix also keeps checking your internet speed.
00:50If you have internet connection then you get HD or 4K quality.
00:53Netflix slows down video quality if the internet is slow.
00:57This entire process happens every second in real time.
01:00This is how Netflix is able to stream videos simultaneously to millions of people around the world.
