Redesigning how creators switch between live modes while keeping the experience clear for viewers.
Background
The original live streaming flow only supported one-way switching from free to paid mode. To return to free mode, creators had to end the stream and restart it, causing audience drop-off and disrupting the experience.
As we introduced more streaming modes, this limitation became increasingly difficult to manage. We redesigned the switching logic to support four live modes while keeping the experience clear for both creators and viewers.

Outcome
The redesigned flow allowed creators to switch between multiple live modes without restarting the stream, while giving viewers clearer feedback across different streaming states.
The new switching model was released in two phases, allowing us to improve the creator and viewer experience within existing technical constraints.
