Netflix Live Chat

Challenge, UX/UI 2023

Project Challange

Design a clean and intuitive chat interface that seamlessly integrates with the Netflix platform’s existing design language. Maintain consistency with Netflix’s visual identity and user interface principles. Prioritize simplicity and ease of use to ensure a seamless experience alongside video streaming.

Project Featured Solution

The live chat interface was inspired by the usability of already existed streaming platforms such as Twitch. The placement of the conversation allows the user to keep their focus on the streamed content while also enjoying their friends’ reactions.

The same can hide the chat interaction and activate it whenever needed. Taking into account that Netflix users age group can vary from early 20’s until a m ore mature age group, a simple design was adapted to not overload the viewer’s experience and deliver an accessible design to all.

Comment Feature
Inspired by mobile game intuitive chat, the placement design was created to avoid the user pausing or getting off the content page by accident. For better accessibility, the live chat allows the voice-to-text feature existed in both iOS and Android keyboards.
