Enhanced & Transparent Video Upload process for Mobile users - 3Speak Mobile
What the change?
- Based on feedback on the 3Speak Acela app, we are working on improving user-experience for video upload for our users.
- We are making video upload & encoding more transperant instead of showing the loading indicator for-ever.
- When you start uploading the video there are many things under the hood going-on.
- We've minimized them as much as possible.
- We are also showing what's going under the hood.
Video upload tasks
In the video, you can clearly see that, we complete following tasks to mark a video as completed from the mobile app.
- Launch video picker from mobile app
- Compress the video (for iOS Users) to HD format
- Upload the video
- Take 1st frame of video as thumbnail
- Upload thumbnail
- Move the video to Encoding QUEUE
What should I do as a User?
- Once video is moved to Encoding queue, you can resume your work.
- You can always come back & check the app to see if your video has completed processing or not.
- Launch app > Open Side Menu > Tap on my-account > Switch to 2nd tab with rocket sign.
Alright. When can I do this?
- We are working on it
- We'll provide you the updated app very soon.
- Stay tuned for more updates.
