We actually built How Video Works as a side project at Mux [1] (inspired by How DNS Works [2]) - there's a note about it at the top of the page. We have contributions from our own team as well as others in the industry.

Our main motivation is to try to educate on the complexities and intracies of streaming video. Despite streaming video representing 80+% of the internet, it's all underpinned by a fairly small community of engineers, which we're eager to help grow through tools like this, and the Demuxed community [3].

Edit: I should also mention that Leandro was kind enough to adapt a this content from his amazing Digital Video Introduction [4]

I've been looking for something educational and introductory about like this for a while. Appreciate you folks at Mux putting this together.

Cool. So how do you measure success for this project? How would your analytics dashboard look like?
