Why Glassdoor partnered with Mux to build UGC video quickly for their community
Blog post from Mux
Glassdoor's VP of Engineering, Mike Cialowicz, discusses the successful integration of user-generated video in their app to boost community engagement, achieved within a tight timeline thanks to Mux. The integration process was streamlined by Mux's comprehensive SDKs and top-notch documentation, allowing for easy incorporation into Android and iOS platforms. Mux's adaptive bitrate streaming ensured high-quality video performance regardless of internet speed, enhancing user experience. Compared to AWS, Mux proved to be more cost-effective, as AWS required assembling a video solution from various components and additional team oversight. Mux also provided strong support and facilitated partnerships with trusted vendors for content moderation, helping Glassdoor maintain high content quality and reducing toxic material. The addition of video content introduced a new level of authenticity to discussions on career topics, enhancing user engagement and community interaction.
