Morphology

streamingly = streaming (transparent) = stream + ing + ly

The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'streaming', whose meaning 'being transmitted continuously' is clear.

Etymology

Streamingly comes from stream ('a flowing river') plus the parts -ing and -ly. Think of online video as water that keeps moving: to deliver something 'streamingly' is to send it as a continuous 'flow' over the internet so people can watch without waiting.
