Videos and animations are data-intensive and en-ergy-consuming. To minimize their environmental impact, Adaptive Bitrate Streaming can adjust quality based on the user’s network conditions, Lazy Loading can prevent unnecessary preloading, and energy-ef-ficient formats like AV1 and VP9 can significantly reduce file sizes.

Recommendations:

  • Adaptive Bitrate Streaming: Automatically adjust video quality based on the user’s network condi-tions.
  • Disable autoplay: Let users choose whether to start a video, and remove loop functions where possible.
  • Choose energy-efficient formats: Use AV1 or VP9 to reduce file size without significant quality loss.
