Morphology
The meaning 'to broadcast audio/video live over the internet' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'stream' (to transmit audio/video) combined with 'online' (via the internet). This straightforward verb + modifier pattern is common in modern usage and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the expression.
Etymology
Stream online uses the image of a flowing stream of sound or pictures sent over the internet, with online meaning 'on the internet'. Imagine a river of video flowing straight into people's devices as it happens; that's why it means 'to broadcast live over the internet'.
