MG Broadcaster

A complete Revamp

Disclaimer: Due to non-disclosure agreements with Mindgeek, I am limited in the amount of work I can show.

The MG Broadcaster is the backbone of MDH and a flagship service of Aylo. It is the streaming service and UI for all Live webcam broadcasts in all of MG products.

During my last two years at Aylo, I was the Product Designer and UI/UX Lead for this project.
I was responsible for the Requirements Analysis and the complete UI/UX Redesign of this service. As it is a flagship service of MG we had to spend a lot of time in researching competitors and analyzing their products so that we could ensure that our new service would give us a competitive advantage over them and provide the best user experience possible to our users.

The new MG Broadcaster can easily compete with top streaming services in the market in the areas of streaming quality, features and UI/UX.

Some of the features that are included in the new broadcaster service are:

• New User UI: Dark, cinematic, and less intrusive UI places emphasis on stream content on the user side.

• New Streamer UI: New UI gives the amateur better information about what’s going on in her stream.

• Larger Video Feed: Increased screen real-estate: Bigger 16:9 video stream which takes full advantage of available screen space.

• Responsive Design: Better device compatibility and mobile-friendly UI.

• New Emoji selector: Old MDH forum-style emojis in chat have been replaced with Unicode standard emojis.

• Gift and Tip service: Viewers can send Gifts and Tips in real-time while watching the streams.

• Activity Feed: Gives streamers at-a-glance information about their stream and important events like tips, private requests, and more.

• Invite to Private (Streamer to User): Allows streamers to invite users to private sessions.

• Whisper mode: Allow streamers and users to send private messages in chat as whispers.
