  2. TABLE OF CONTENTS

  3. INTRODUCTION There was a time when the viewer had limited choices and would depend on what the channel would show. They didn't have any say in the videos shown to them. Times have changed with the OTT platforms, where the viewer is spoilt for choices. With the rising number of platforms, there is more choice and varieties. When most businesses struggled to operate during the Pandemic, the OTT platforms gained more viewers. With the onset of remote working, rising insecurity owing to the unknown virus, and the inability to step out, people moved to these video streaming apps to divert their minds. The smartphone revolution, combined with the fact that these streaming platforms were available on the mobile, led to massive adoption growth. With people being able to watch the series on their devices without sharing the screen with others or being dependent on someone to choose the show, there was an increase in the demand. As demand increased, the competition in this segment grew. For new businesses that want to set their foot in the OTT segment, the cutthroat competition demands setting a differentiated stage that can improve experiences and enhance usability. If you plan to step into this segment with live video streaming app development, we would like to take you through the different things you need to consider.

  4. 1. Signup/Login Treat these as separate features, though we have added them as one. Let's understand the importance of getting your user to sign up. You need to know your users better to nurture them to a premium plan or help them maximize the benefit. When they sign up, you get the basic details that can help build a profile and a persona for your user. The registration page should be easy-to-use and have a low learning curve. You can also add social integrations to allow users to sign up with their social media profiles.

  5. #2. Profile Management Every video streaming application, Amazon Prime & Netflix included, allows you to create profiles. They know a single family member will not be watching the show. They need to know who is watching and what kind of programs they are most likely to watch. How does this help? Suppose two people from the same family have started watching a series separately. They have reached different episodes, which results in them wanting to start from the same place. Step-By-Step Guide to Developing a Video Streaming App

  6. #3. Content Search You may realize that not every content is listed on the home page. Some of the content is hidden in the inner pages, and looking for them can prove futile. However, with the right content search feature, you can allow users to search for and start watching the content they want.

  7. #4. In-app Payments When you have a subscription-based system for monetizing your application, you must ensure that the payments are done comfortably. For this purpose, you should link your payments to a proper subscription tool and build the payment feature. If the payments are easy and multiple modes are accepted, users will be more than happy to direct the payments, encouraging more retention. More people will download the application and stream the videos when you make the usage easy and friendly.

  8. #5. Social Sharing It will encourage more users to your application. Users are more likely to recommend when you add social sharing to your shows. People start watching shows recommended by their friends and family. When the link is shared to their inbox, the chances of conversion are higher. As a result, this is a recommended feature.

  9. #6. WatchList We just discussed in one of the features how people love resuming their watch from where they left it. It is also essential for people to know the shows they watch. The watch list is more like a history of the shows they watched and allows them to resume it from where they left.
