JAMIT

The user's goal for this project was to create a design that enhances the user experience for creators and anyone using the Virtual Studio. This includes the ability to initiate a recording session, access their recordings on the platform after recording, and download the recordings at any time.

I began by questioning the purpose ('why') behind the current design of the Virtual Studio, specifically how users interact with it to access their recordings after completing the recording process. Additionally, I conducted a competitor analysis to explore how other video and audio recording platforms tackle this problem for their users. These steps were crucial in guiding my design approach and informing my decision-making process when developing a solution.

Based on my research on how users interacted with the current design for the Virtual Studio, I discovered that many users who use the platform and complain about the issue of accessing their recordings for downloads were confused by the 'manage' CTA button. They mistakenly believed that it was for editing session details or adding participants before starting a recording. Additionally, the recordings component was located on the same screen.

During this process, I examined Zoom and Google Meet, as they are commonly used platforms for video recording. I also looked into Riverside.fm, which is popular among creators for recording high-quality audio and video for their content. I conducted this analysis to understand how their users download their recordings once they have finished recording or whenever they wish to do so.
