Buffering

Buffering is the term given to the end user experience of waiting for enough video content to have been downloaded for playback to start or continue. This can happen mid-playback if sufficient bandwidth is not availiable to stream the content. Buffering is often represented visually with a spinning circle. It is considered to be the biggest single cause of abandoned playback sessions by viewers.
