1) I think 串流 can be labeled "Tw".

a) Google results
simp "串流服务" 240k
trad "串流服務" 1,980k

b) Wikipedia articles:
mainland 流媒体
Taiwan 串流媒體

c) Most dicts don't have an entry for 串流, but LA does.

d) K labels 串流播放 as "TW usage".


2) I think "to stream" is misleading. It suggests that 串流 might be a transitive verb, something a company might do, as in "In a first, Disney+ will stream the Oscars show live in parts of Europe." or something a consumer might do, as in "Grab it for $25 and use it to stream your favorite movies and TV shows".

In fact, I think it usually functions as a noun or an attributive (corresponding in both cases to "streaming") and that when it (occasionally) functions as a verb, it's more like "to be streamed" (i.e. intransitive).

"streaming"

聯合線上公司數位閱讀網營運總監周暐達說,若與同屬數位內容家族一員的數位音樂比較,數位音樂也有很多不同格式,但從CD或網站(如iTunes)串流到電腦、MP3 或手機等各式電子產品時,它不需特別轉換即可維持99%的原貌。
