How to say "streaming video"

Hello,

I am wondering what phrases are actually used in Spanish to refer to "streaming video". Is the word "streaming" itself borrowed from English at all?

A search on it brought up phrases like "video corriente" and "video cargando" but a native speaker told me she had never heard those (at least where she is from).

Please let me know what phrases are used. Thanks!

The Spanish wikipedia article has "el streaming" for streaming audio or video.

Thank you! Can any native speakers confirm that this is the most common way to say it? - jessui, Nov 30, 2010
I would assume the Spanish wiki article was written by native speakers, but anything's possible! lol - benweck, Nov 30, 2010
