The idea was to launch a platform allowing people to connect virtually over video conferencing. We created Bonfire during the Covid-19 pandemic, enabling users to plan virtual meetups and invite their friends and family to join them and feel the same experience as they have in person.
The demands of the client were as follows:
To create a platform that reduces barriers between the people.To create a platform that provides secure and reliable remote communication.To add a screen share feature.To create a user-friendly interface.We followed a robust development process with a multi-disciplinary team to ensure a successful product launch.
In the first step, we defined the requirements of our clients and the other regulatory requirements that should be added to the virtual meetup platform. Along with that, we considered the target audience and what can be their needs.
Keeping every requirement in mind, our UI/UX designers designed the network infrastructure to ensure reliable and scalable performance.
In this phase, our developers built a user-friendly interface, integrating APIs and libraries. After that, our QA engineers ensured it is bug-free and met the demands of the client. This involved both manual and automated testing.
Once the platform was tested and ready, we deployed it to the public and provided ongoing maintenance support to ensure it remains functional and relevant.
The host of an event can schedule and organize virtual events by selecting the right event template from the template section.
Bonfire allows users to see and hear each other in real-time, using video and audio calling capabilities.
This feature allows users to share their device screen with other users, making it easier to provide visual aids during an event.
Live Captions is an accessibility feature that transcribes spoken language into text in real time during events.
Bonfire enables users to use emojis or gifs to express their feelings and reactions during an event.
The virtual meetup platform quickly gained traction among individuals. The success can be attributed to its focus on security, reliability, and user engagement. Our client was happy with the results as developers were able to attract a significant user base and established the platform as a leading contender in the market.
The first challenge was to build a user-friendly interface for the video call platform that incorporates a screen-sharing feature while the user is engaged in a call with another participant. The second challenge was to do a video call setup using Firebase and WebRTC so that people can join seamlessly.
Innow8 overcame the challenge by designing the user interface carefully, optimizing network bandwidth, already planning for interruptions, and testing thoroughly. Innow8 ensured the proper setup of Firebase and WebRTC by testing the connection, addressing network issues, and optimizing video quality.
Bonfire assisted users with better collaborations and enhanced communication which had a positive impact on the user experience and the overall functionality of the virtual meetup platform. Bonfire ensured a smooth video call experience that directly resulted in increased productivity.
