New teams grew 51% in their first month.

I redesigned Share after finding that people copied links instead of inviting their teammates.

Self-reported team result

Self-reported. Paid and free seats are mixed, so there’s no revenue claim here.

The problem

People shared videos by copying a link, so their teammates never joined the workspace.

What I owned

I redesigned the Share flow over several rounds with design, for a clear entry point and simple role assignment. Then I added @mentions with free viewer seats and deep-linked notifications, A/B tested with design and marketing after power-user interviews.

How it went

Fix the invite path

I redesigned Share around inviting teammates, since people were copying links instead.

Make mentions pull people in

@mentions came with free viewer seats and deep-linked notifications, so the person you mentioned could actually join the conversation.

Test it, don’t guess

I talked to power users first, then A/B tested with design and marketing.

How I know it works

  • First-month team size: 1.22 to 1.84 seats for new teams after the redesign, up 51%.
  • Average team size: 1.77 to 2.04 seats per team, a separate measure.
  • Seat caveat: seats are a mix of paid and free, so I make no revenue claim.
