Essential features to consider for Zoom like app development

Feature-set integration is an important point to consider for Zoom like app development. Because, the app features determine the app’s functionality.

Integrating new and innovative features will make your app stand out from the other video conferencing apps. Moreover, this does not necessarily mean that you should compromise any of the basic features.

The essential features that should be incorporated into your video conferencing app are as follows.

Chat

Using this feature, the users can connect with other users. While attending the meeting, they can chat with all the participants in the meeting or chat individually, depending on their choice.

Virtual hand-raising

It is the most useful feature. Participants can speak at any time in the meeting using this feature. When one participant is presenting her/his topic in the meeting, it is not good to see the other participants interrupting. This prevents multiple participants from speaking at the same time.

Screen sharing

This feature will let the participant in the meeting share the screen with other members.

Mute participants

The background might be noisy for some participants. So, the host has the option to mute any participants during the meeting as per his/her desire.   

Scheduled meetings

Using this feature, the host can schedule their meetings with their participants. Also, the participant who initiates has the option to set reminders for the scheduled meetings.

Video sharing

The Video Sharing feature will allow the participants to share the videos from YouTube in the session. This will make the session interactive. Notably, participants do not have to download the YouTube video for watching. Instead, the video conferencing app will display the video.   

Encryption

The app should not let unauthorized users join the meeting. Therefore, your app should be embedded with end-to-end encryption. By doing this, no one can join the meeting without the permission of the host.
