Video productions at forefront of MSN redesigned homepage New-look homepage for MSN UK gives prominent position to video-on-demand service.
Microsoft is to unveil a new homepage for its MSN UK service today with a strong focus on video productions.
The new-look site will feature Microsoft's video-on-demand service MSN Video Player in a more prominent location, the Guardian reports.
Previously visitors had to scroll down to find the video player, but this will now be placed in a more high-profile slot nearer the top of the page.
Peter Bale, executive producer of MSN UK at Microsoft, told the news provider: "We are meeting targets for streams, we are pretty happy about [MSN Video Player] at the moment.
"One of the difficulties was making it prominent enough for users. It is a very valuable product. We see video as front and centre of our revenue ambitions in the coming year."
The site will also include tie-ups with Facebook and Twitter and a simplified design aimed at reducing download times.
According to web analysis firm Alexa, MSN is the ninth most visited site on the internet.
