Yaika! has undergone some improvements

As you might have gathered from the title, our team has made some noticeable improvements to the website. We've been hard at work for weeks and the result is finally here. Among others we have the long-awaited recording feature.

Now to more specific matters. The first thing the users will notice is the somewhat upgraded look of the site. Each video now has a gray circle with the letter i in it. Rolling your mouse over it allows you to see more information regarding that particular video. You'll also see the new header with some new buttons. The "Blog" button which links to this very blog is now easier to find. The other new button is the "Videos" button which brings me to one the new major features.

Users can now upload their own videos to Yaika! Like everything else here, this also has been made as easy to use as possible. For now, each user has a total video limit of 5 hours which can effortlessly compete with other sites offering the same functionality. Watching the uploaded videos is remarkably hassle-free and thanks to all kinds of technological innovations in use we've been able to reduce buffering time to almost none. This means no waiting for a video to load, even when you want to start watching it from some middle part. There's also no need to worry about any copyright infringements as Yaika! doesn't allow other users to record or download any of your videos, thus eliminating the chance of your videos being illegally published somewhere else. You can always show your videos in other places if you'd like to yourself using the embedded code provided next to each video or channel.

When you upload a video to the Internet, you expect to get the credit for it. But what if someone else copies the video and posts it somewhere else? Exactly, you might lose the ratings that originally belonged to you. That's what our site's strict no downloading policy aims to prevent. Now no one can steal your video, upload it again and take your ratings.

As I already mentioned in the introduction, we now have a fully working recording feature, so you don't have to limit yourselves with live broadcasts anymore. As with the uploaded videos, the same no downloading rule applies to the recorded videos. We've also improved our webconnection, so uploading stuff should go quite swiftly and this adds to the simple-to-use experience that is Yaika!

Come visit our freshly upgraded site and explore the new features on your own :)
