Transparent Video Upload process for Mobile users - 3Speak Mobile

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.
