This is a timeline of Online video.

Full timeline
Timeline of online video (you might choose a somewhat different naming): Cover things like Google Video, YouTube, DailyMotion, then later emergence of short video (Vine, Keek), Snapchat video, live-streaming (Meerkat, Periscope, Facebook Live). Also cover things like Vevo, Hulu, Viki, Netflix, And include video services that are used in specific countries but aren't globally popular, or those that serve niches (see e.g. all the video services owned by Ellation). Cover porn video sites (Pornhub, and others under MindGeek) and maybe also some piracy-type sites (

One area I forgot to include in the summary when listing the article was the development of various standards and formats for video, online video players, streaming etc. I think key developments here would be valuable to have in the timeline.
