Darwin Streaming Server

Ok kiddo, so you know how sometimes you watch videos on the computer like cartoons or funny cat videos? Well, the Darwin Streaming Server is a special kind of computer program that helps make it easier for people to watch those videos on their computer, phone, or tablet.

Think of it like a really helpful robot that takes the video from where it’s stored and helps send it to your device so you can watch it. And since lots of people might want to watch the same video at the same time, the Darwin Streaming Server helps make sure everyone can see it without any problems.

This is important because sometimes when a lot of people try to watch the same video at the same time, it can make the video go really slow or even stop working. This is called buffering, and it's frustrating for everyone!

But with the Darwin Streaming Server, the video can be sent out to lots of people at once without any buffering problems. And that makes everyone happy!
