How to Build a Great Video Streaming App



People want to watch high-quality videos that correspond to their interests. On television, programs air at fixed times, restricting viewers. To fit their schedules, people turn to video streaming apps to fill their need for video entertainment. Streaming video content is available instantly, allowing users to watch shows or movies they like at a time that suits them — and without being interrupted every 15 minutes by obnoxious ads. What’s more, when using mobile-friendly video streaming applications, people can watch their favorite shows on the go.To get more news about 39bet-sòng bạc trực tuyến-cá độ bóng đá-mua vé số-đặt cược onl-máy đua ngựa, you can visit official website.

You’re probably familiar with Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video. There are other streaming services as well, but let’s review what these three most popular services offer and consider their pros and cons.
Netflix
Netflix streams TV shows, movies, comedy specials, and original programming for a monthly subscription fee. Users can create up to five different profiles on a single account.

Amazon Video
Amazon Video has various movies, television shows, and original programming. And since Amazon made a deal with Viacom, which controls Nickelodeon, MTV, and Comedy Central, Amazon Prime Video now has a wider choice of comedy and children’s programming. Amazon Prime Video also offers access to a big collection from HBO’s back catalog of classics. The separate Amazon Video lets users access current movies, but it’s an à la carte service. Amazon’s Prime Video is even streaming 58 official selection feature films from Outfest LGBTQ film festival, available to Prime members at no additional cost.

Hulu
Hulu streams the latest TV shows. This service lets users access major network shows and a number of cable shows the day after they air. It also lets subscribers access a show’s current season and all past seasons. Hulu is host to a selection of movies and multiple classic anime series. Before a show starts, subscribers have to sit through a few commercials though, yet not as many as on cable TV. The selling point of Hulu is that it gets major network shows quickly — faster than Netflix or Amazon. Hulu provides two types of subscriptions: one with commercials and another that’s commercial-free but is a bit more expensive.
For users to enjoy a video streaming service, they need basic features to help them manage their viewing sessions. Here are a few necessary features:

Registration. Registration is one of the main steps to start using a service. Users can register with an application via email or through a social account like Facebook to save time.

Personal accounts. A streaming service should let users create personal accounts and manage their personal data, email addresses, and passwords. Most importantly, users should be able to manage their payment options right in the app. Also, accounts should support multiple user profiles that keep track of each person’s favorite shows and display personalized suggestions about what to watch.
Filters. Users like picking genres they’re interested in. Filters are very convenient for sorting content. For example, users could filter by genre: Crime and Justice, Comedy and Drama, Action and Adventure, or News and Headlines, for instance.

Home. A home section is a place where users can easily find content they’ve already watched and love as well as recommendations on what may be interesting to them.
