Audiovisual media service

An audiovisual media service is a service that aims to provide moving images and sound, such as videos or films, via electronic communication networks, for example via television channels or streaming platforms. These services are designed to provide the general public with information or entertainment content. In the EU, audiovisual media services are regulated by the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) in order to ensure common standards for providers with regard to the protection of minors, advertising and content diversity.
