[Guide]"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Every video conference<\/strong> has its own purpose – an important client meeting, a life-changing interview, or an immediate doctor consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any such reason, we immediately turn to apps like Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These apps connect everyone instantly, and easily. Yet, sometimes they miss the mark in 2 major areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Giving users a personal touch of the business, or brand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Securing user data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are already running a business, it is very important to address these gaps, as it might affect your user experience, and above that, their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you build your own custom video conferencing platform? This could be one of the best strategic moves you could take for your business. You solve multiple issues in just one shot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agree this is a good idea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide will walk you through the step by step process of building a custom video conferencing platform with features that match your workflow<\/a>, security requirements and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What Makes Zoom Video Conferencing Unique?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning to get inspiration from Zoom for your video conferencing platform, you might need to clearly understand the app. This section will uncover some of the unique characteristics of Zoom that makes it stand out from others in the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Zoom wasn\u2019t the first video conferencing app. But it eventually dominates the market for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoom wasn’t the first video conferencing tool, but it became dominant because:It’s super-simple<\/strong>: Join a meeting<\/strong> – that\u2019s the button you need to click to start a video conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will take you to the pane with a Meeting ID. If you have one, you just need to input the ID and you\u2019ll be in already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Join<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s intuitive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoom is full of features. You can find anything and everything you want in a video conferencing platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the key capabilities of Zoom that users usually love to use. 

When I say intuitive, it means it is one of the easiest apps to use without much effort although it is loaded with features. Users will not feel the app is overwhelming as it is uniquely designed to be easy to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the key takeaways of how you need to plan your app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 or 1000 participants – Zoom scales really well<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes your webinars or Zoom sessions are going to be a massive hit. You’ll have to host 1000s of participants at the same time. Other times, it could be a discussion only for a small group. Whatever be the size of the conference, Zoom can accommodate users easily and scale according to your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already excited about building a Zoom-like app? Let\u2019s begin the development process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>\ud83d\udccdThis Is Where You Get Started: Define Your MVP<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My first piece of advice: don’t try to build all of Zoom at once. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many developers try to replicate the exact Zoom app and sometimes get stuck midway through the process. That might complicate things for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, you can begin with a basic MVP with a few core features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
