Streaming vs Übertragung

transmission / transfer

'die Übertragung' and 'das Streaming' both have to do with sending audio, video, or data. 'das Streaming' is a special kind of transmission over a network: you can play music, films, or videos immediately without first downloading the whole file. 'die Übertragung' is more general and can also refer to radio, television, the internet, data, signals, or other things. For films and music on the internet, 'Streaming' is more precise. When speaking generally about sending or forwarding something, 'Übertragung' fits better.
