Important Points System Design: Video Streaming Service 1.Upload & Store → Videos are uploaded, transcoded into multiple resolutions, and stored in cloud storage. 2.Distribute via CDN → Video chunks are cached globally so playback is fast and nearby. 3.Playback Request → When you hit play, the app checks login, subscription, and license. 4.Adaptive Streaming → Videos stream in small chunks (HLS/DASH) and auto-switch quality based on network. 5.Scale & Monitor → CDNs, sharded metadata, load balancers, and autoscaling keep millions of users smooth.
