TECH TALK

At Paramount+, we’re constantly refining and evolving our product experience to deliver a best-in-class viewing experience that grows discovery and engagement.  For this special edition of Tech Talk, we chatted with Vibol Hou, Chief Technology and Product Officer, Paramount Streaming about some of the recent updates to the streaming experience so far this year. Paramount+ had a strong Q1 where Watch Time per User increased again by 17% and Churn improved 130 bps Year-over-Year. Tell us what product features are driving these results? Our Product, Engineering and AI teams have been hard at work driving retention with new features to enhance and personalize content discovery on Paramount+. So far this year, we’ve added several in-player browser enhancements, including playlist tabs and the new “next video” button to improve discovery and keep the user in the video experience. Our efforts to test differentiated poster art shows significant results -- up to +162% increase in click-through-rate. Movie and series end cards now offer better recommendations and context based on the user’s immediate watch history. For example, sports fans are seamlessly directed to the CBS Sports Golazo network after watching live UEFA Champions matches. That's great to hear since Paramount+ is home to so many live championship sports. Can you share any other ways we're elevating the sports viewing experience for fans?  While watching a game, subscribers can now browse a group of matches in the 'On Now' carousel related to what they are watching and also view suggestions for 'Next' and 'Later,' improving sports discovery and engagement. Last quarter, we also rolled out start cards that give users options to catch up on their favorite events with key moment highlights and live time shifting when they join mid-game.  Can you share a sneak-PEAK of a feature you’re excited about that’s in the works and rolling out on Paramount+ over the next few months? That’s a nice play on words! We are rolling out a brand new, short-form immersive video experience called Peek View across select platforms and devices to drive content discovery, engagement and shareability. The feature enhances the browsing experience by letting viewers surf a continuous grid of immersive, near full-screen preview clips to make it easier than ever for them to discover new movies and series, and re-engage with the content they love. Clip-based browsing mechanics solves the age-old problem of navigating in and out of detail pages to find something interesting to watch and taps into the familiar and intuitive interaction models of social media apps, allowing viewers to easily find and get a taste of Paramount’s hit content, expansive library and curated thematic collections. Early performance metrics show that viewers who use Peek View increase additions to their watch list by 15% compared to those who don’t, leading to greater long term engagement.  Over the next few months, we’re continuing to roll out exciting features to enhance sports viewing, including a multi-feed live sports experience. Viewers can choose multiple feeds to put in a single video player, which is perfect for watching multiple UEFA Champions League games and more. With our impressive marquee of live championship sports throughout the year, we’re excited to introduce more tools and features that deliver a more immersive and seamless viewing experience for our subscribers.
