An important Web 2.0 development was that users could now view video and images directly, using their web browser.


Introduced in 1996 as a web-based animation program, Flash ran as a freely available browser plug-in or add-on.


In 2003, when a version of Flash was released which included video streaming, a very high proportion of web users downloaded the plug-in.


The first video was uploaded to YouTube, a web-based video sharing application, in 2005.
