An over-the-top media service is a digital distribution service of video and audio offered directly to viewers via the public Internet, rather than through an over-the-air, cable, satellite, or IPTV provider. Such services may be subscription-based or free. The term is synonymous with "streaming platform". OTT services are typically accessed via television sets with integrated Smart TV platforms, streaming devices such as Amazon Fire TV and Roku, video game consoles, websites on personal computers, and apps on smartphones and tablets.
