Video Streaming Resources
"Video Streaming" means watching a video over the Internet in real time instead of downloading a file to your computer, tablet, smart phone, or mobile device and watching it later.
Though no definitive list exists of all the free content streaming sites, you can find out if a title is available to stream by checking the Can I Stream.it?, Gowatchit,
Just Watch, or Where To Watch web sites.
Following are helpful links for watching popular movies, documentaries, television shows, and educational videos for free online. All you need is a computer, TV or mobile device with an Internet connection. And remember: if you miss your
favorite network TV show, check the network's website; most major networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, PBS, The CW) offer some episodes for free online viewing.
