Question about streaming video (Youtube etc)

Can anyone help me settle an argument with my other half?

She thinks that "when you stream a video, the data goes to the "cloud", before it plays on the PC, and data is no longer stored in a temporary file on the PC, as it used to be with versions of Windows before Windows 7".

I think, that the data is downloaded from Youtube (or whatever service) onto your PC's hard drive/SSD, where it is stored in a temporary file.

Who is right?
