Desk research
I began with desk research to gain a deeper understanding of feedback on services that offer similar ways of collaborating with researchers, students, and organizations through online meetings or personalized education. By analyzing these competitors, I was able to identify their strengths and use those insights to guide my evaluation and design process.
Zoom user feedback
Microsoft Teams user feedback
Google Meet user feedback
I read different articles about these services and caught some insights. There are 3 case studies.
1- Google Meet: Analysis and features improvement.
Problem statement: private and multiple message features on Google Meet
2- Improving chat room experience on Zoom meeting on the mobile App
Problem statement: chat room’s issues in Zoom
3- Usability review & analysis: Microsoft Teams
Problem statement: usability matters
Digital platform
With Video conferencing in today’s business world, the demand for video communications has been booming.
Video conferencing market size
User personas
After we analysed Microsoft Teams and conducted user testing with 3 heavy users, we gained some insights.
Insights
We understand group chat is the users' main issues with Microsoft Teams, Student has less interaction with other users and participants through Microsoft Teams and they switch to other platforms.
