Interstial Screen for TV

Each CTV platform had its own version of the interstitial screen because it was not documented, which led to inconsistencies across platforms. This project aims to reduce those discrepancies and standardize the interstitial experience across all CTV platforms.

Result

Qualitative Results

  • Achieved visual and interaction consistency across interstitial screens on all CTV platforms

  • Improved transitions between the pre-interstitial screen, interstitial screen, and video player

  • Provided clearer and more predictable information about upcoming content

  • Delivered a more cohesive, seamless, and predictable viewing flow across CTV experiences

Quantitative Results

  • Restructured the interstitial screen flow so that the video player UI appears immediately after the interstitial screen, which significantly increased adoption of the Alternative Broadcast feature on the Smart TV platform where the new design was first launched. Smart TV usage on this platform is roughly 5–10× higher than on other TV platforms
