The term 'transmitted in real time' can be summarized by the word 'streamed'. Streaming is a method of transferring data over a network, such as the internet, in which the data is sent in small chunks and played back as it is received. This allows for the data to be transmitted in real time, meaning that the user does not have to wait for the entire file to download before they can view or listen to it. Streaming is commonly used for audio and video content, such as music and movies.
