Keep users engaged with Video End Screen

How can you keep users engaged once they have finished a video? A key way to do this is to offer suggestions when finishing a video, and let the user discover new content without interruption. 

Accedo One supports two main use cases for this scenario: 

• Binge, which autoplays the next video in a series.
• Up Next, which suggests related videos and can include autoplay. 

Together, these features can help retain viewers by guiding them to new content with minimal effort.

Binge 

The Binge feature applies to episodes in a TV Show or Collection. 

As an episode or collection item approaches its end, viewers will see a countdown timer to the next episode's autoplay, along with the upcoming episode’s thumbnail, series title, season and episode numbers, and episode title. At the end of the countdown timer, the next episode plays automatically.

To enable binge-watching in Accedo One, simply activate the feature and set the countdown timer to the desired number of seconds. Ideally, align the timer with the length of the end credits to ensure the thumbnail display doesn’t disrupt the viewing experience.

Up Next 

In addition to the typical binge screen, Accedo One also supports scenarios where there isn’t a logical next video to autoplay, such as after a movie or the last available episode in a series. 

In these cases, users are shown recommended videos, sourced from either your video catalog or (if applicable) an external recommendations service. 

Selecting a recommended video begins playback instantly, while pressing back or close returns the user to their original location within the app.

The “Up Next” screen can also be configured to autoplay once its countdown timer completes, similar to the binge-watch feature.
‍

Like for Binge, Up Next can also be enabled in the Accedo One tool by activating the feature and selecting the desired countdown duration.
