Webinar Editing Tool

Streamlined the onboarding process, reducing the need for manual support of 3 team members.

At Parmonic, an app that transforms long videos with the help of transcripts into digestible chunks called 'Moments'.
My role focused on research, analysing data and improving the app’s usability. The primary challenge was to make the tool more intuitive, as it initially required onboarding meetings with each client. The project’s success was reflected in positive qualitative feedback, and with further adjustments, we were able to fully eliminate the need for manual onboarding.

While the main focus was on the editing screen, the overall experience—from the homepage to publishing—was key to making the design more intuitive.

Create Value Proposition

Clear information on homepage and while onboarding and their visual representation on clients page

Visibility

• Scroll to the particular moment when clicked on sleected text

• Clear CTA to publish , once the user is in publish mode he can always come back.

• The snippets of the webinar for context as in the previous designs are truncated when not needed

Ease

• While editing one moment, there will be just one thumbnail hence avoiding confusion

• Less open options in the top nav

• Thumbnail is a commonly used setting so kept on the tool bar at the top.

Usability testing

Understanding the why behind actions - Moderated

Miachel

User

I liked the quick view of the images in chunks , as the screen changed , it gave me context

Galdin

Impact

Understanding the why behind actions - Moderated

Positive response from users

Net Promoter Score (NPS) improved by 25%, rising from 45 to 70, and overall qualitative feedback increased.

Bounce Rates decreased

Bounce rate of users decreased and Average Time decreased in the client onboarding process since the implementation of the Parmonic Editor tool. This includes reductions in the time it takes to set up accounts, create content, or troubleshoot issues.

Handholding during Onboarding eliminated

Specifically, the tool's efficiency in streamlining the client onboarding process resulted in a notable decrease in outsourcing expenses. This translated into a tangible saving equivalent to the employment costs of four customer care resources.
