beIN Kids — Children’s OTT Experience
A safe, engaging streaming experience designed for children aged 3–12. Built with parental controls, visual navigation, and character-driven UI to delight young audiences.
Overview
beIN Kids is a dedicated children’s streaming platform. This project required designing an experience that appeals to children as primary users while giving parents complete control — a dual-audience design challenge.
The Challenge
Children aged 3–6 cannot read, so the interface needed to be entirely icon and image-driven. For ages 7–12, light reading was possible but the experience needed to remain visually engaging and fast to navigate.
Key Deliverables
- Age-gate and parental control dashboard
- Character-driven home screen with animated UI
- Visual content browsing (no text navigation for under-7s)
- Progress tracking and watch history for parents
- Offline download flow
Design Principles
Large tap targets (minimum 64px), high contrast, bright primary palette, and sound feedback on interactions. Every screen was tested with children in supervised sessions in Doha and Riyadh.
