These are just examples of some platforms that use this technology. Just to give you an idea, a study by Ampere Analysis, a research and analysis company, shows that by 2019 streaming service revenues could surpass the world’s movie box office.

On the education side, Hotmart itself is a good example. Today, more than 7 million users of the platform can pursue teaching, learning or even change their careers anytime, anywhere.

Among the various formats of digital products available are courses, which may be created in various formats. One of them is the video lesson, which can be inserted using the Hotmart player, which uses streaming technology.
