Challenges Occurred While Developing OTT Online Streaming Services
Enhanced Search Functionality
At times, when viewers are highly impatient and have the tendency of giving up easily post searching a couple of pages. Catering the search functionality capable of understanding viewers’ behaviour, choices and habits to offer personalized suggestions, was one of the major challenges in front of our elite developers while developing a custom OTT platform.
Multi-device Viewing
Providing a seamless user experience across a range of devices is another challenge with the custom OTT platform development. Since gone are the days when people tend to consume all sorts of video content on a single device. Now the time has changed, and viewers look for hassle-free video streaming on devices like smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, game consoles, etc, all at once.
Handling Millions of Viewers at a Time
OTT platforms that provide online streaming services, it’s hard to say for them, which of their content will go viral and when this happens, viewers land on the platform in a large amount. Therefore, building a platform that can handle millions of requests at a time, without even slowing down or getting crushed, was one of the crucial tasks with the development of On-demand OTT Online Streaming Services.
Viewer Retention
As we all know, the OTT market is becoming more and more crowded (highly dense) each passing day. Therefore, if service providers want to attract and retain viewers to their platform, they need to deliver an impressive overall experience. i.e. providing viewer’s choice content would not be enough, they have to maintain a superior video quality and have a clear thought about the advertising content that it should be non-intrusive and easy to skip to play video.
Proposed Solutions for Encountered Challenges
- After hours of brainstorming and utilizing their years of experience or expertise in live streaming solutions, our talented team of developers came up with a well-researched set of AI/ML algorithms that understands viewers’ choices and habits from previous searches and recommend a personalized range of video content to every single individual.
- Our development team resolved the issue of multi-device viewing by curating code in a format that can be accessed across multi-platform providing a similar viewing experience. That format is the key that our developers found for the multi-viewing latch, thanks to their years of experience and expertise in developing live streaming solutions.
- To handle such a fortunate event for a streaming service provider, our globally acknowledged team of developers, erected a platform with strong servers and extended bandwidth that allows visited audiences to watch viral content without any glitch on the go.
- An impressive overall experience is clearly a matter of question if you want to stay ahead in this race of OTT Online Streaming Service Providers. Our developers give it a sure thought as customer retention is a high priority for any business. And created a custom OTT platform that restricts uploading low-quality video content on servers and follows strict guidelines for advertising with an option to skip that ends up not hampering viewers’ fun with watching content.
