The act of loading a webpage with a video on it allowing the video to buffer knowing full well that you do not intent to watch the video at the present time. But instead keeping the webpage open and watching later when it may be more convenient for you. A pre-buffer is also used to make sure the video is fully loaded when you wish to wash it.

The user can also disconnect from the internet and will still be able to watch the video due to the pre-buffer.
