Breakout Rooms Testing

Why use breakout rooms? Here’s a real example for social connections.

Problem:

Business video conferencing tools help us connect at work. But they often feel too formal outside of the office. Our client launched a video conference platform designed for social, family, and other informal gatherings.

Feature:

Interactive features replicate the experience of in-person conversations with “rooms” where users can join and leave conversations at their leisure and send private messages.

Opportunities:

The market size of video conferencing is expected to grow to $50B by 2026 with opportunities for B2B and B2C innovation.

Why use breakout rooms? Here’s a real example for team collaboration.

Problem:

The client - a fortune-100 tech company - needed to add breakout rooms to remain competitive in a highly contested video collaboration market.

Feature:

The breakout rooms feature allows meeting organizers to split a group video or audio call into divergent sessions, enabling smaller group discussions. They can assign users to a room, and add/remove/rename the rooms.

Opportunities:

From a remote workers' report, some of the main challenges faced are difficulty collaborating and loneliness from not seeing coworkers.

Challenges with Breakout Rooms

Breakout rooms and other methods of simulating physical space are a frontier for digitalization. They add new opportunities for collaboration, and new opportunities to lose users with complicated flows or broken functions.

Does the stream slow down with more users?
Is connecting to friends intuitive and simple?
How can you that ensure only those with permission can enter the room?

Advice from an expert tester

"Here's a brief overview of some tricky things I would want to test...

Ensure attendees can be distributed automatically (randomly, evenly among rooms) or assigned to rooms manually.
Verify it's possible to choose how many rooms to create (max up to 50) and that rooms are successfully created. Each room should have its own URL generated which can be shared out.
Video call functionalities: mute/unmute, camera on/off, end call, chat, different views/layouts, person who is talking should be highlighted, etc."
