Role: Senior UX UI Designer, Product
Research
The goal was to create a proof of concept prototype for a SDK LIVE feature and user experience tools for creators for MediaLabs brands (Genius, Imgur, World Star, Kik, datPiff, Amino, Whisper). I started researching competitor apps.
At the same time the developers team was integrating and partnering with The Meet Group (TMG) and their LIVE streaming SDK.
Using inspiration for TMG's LIVE streaming tool kit in the MeetMe app, I thought about if we were to design our own...How do we fit in that differs from what's already out there? What is our design language that would be consistent for the varying brands and properties in MediaLab?
Wireframe Ideation
Research and Wireframe Ideation for a MediaLab LIVE features included:
Finding & Joining a LIVE Stream
Starting & Ending a LIVE Stream
Chatting in a LIVE Stream
Gifting in a LIVE Stream
Groups & Channels
Various LIVE Modes
Monetization & Games
Finding a Stream
To find a stream, I decided it would be best to create a home page to search and discover LIVE streams.
Starting a Stream
Starting a stream involved a bit more planning. We wanted to narrow down the proof of concept to a few key features that would be required to start a stream.
