USING MULTIMEDIA ELEMENTS IN CONTENT

2. USING MULTIMEDIA ELEMENTS IN CONTENT
Indisputably, including multimedia elements in content adds immense appeal to it. However,
before deciding to include multimedia elements, it is essential to consider one major factor.
Streaming the heavy audio and video files. During a regular HTTP transfer, the entire file is
downloaded to the user’s computer. When you stream the file, the user’s computer is in
constant contact with the server with the file.
Provide the viewer control over the multimedia element. For example, it is a good idea to
include a skip button that allows the viewer To skip the introductory animation. Such a
feature would be very popular with viewers viewing the content for a second time or third
time.
Provide the view feedback about the status of download. Including a status bar that displays
the percentage of download completed and the approximate time required to complete the
task, will help in keeping the viewer engaged.
Display the multimedia element, particularly videos, in smaller windows.
