With the change in users' internet access behavior, especially after social distancing period, such as holding online conferences, watching videos and livestreaming more, it is not a surprise that OTT video will continue to grow. There are a lot of contents that are being brought online, and this is just the beginning. OTT videos also play an important role in online events (like this conference today). Concerts, sports events, education events, all can go online. Therefore, digital content providers need to understand the behavior and the increasing demand for "digital experience" of users.
