integration, we intend to make use of AI tools in enhancing
the functionality of the platform. AI-Driven Features.
Our video conferencing tool will house regular and advanced
features for both a simple creator and large organizations.
The list of regular features pertains to high-definition outlay
video and audio communication, text chat, and screen
sharing. These functionalities form the core of any solid
video conferencing solution. Advanced features shall
differentiate our tool from among the current set of
solutions. AI-driven virtual backgrounds shall enable users
to substitute their real-world backgrounds with images of
their choice. That at least gives some assurance of privacy
and professionalism, especially in formal meetings. The UI
design is pretty crucial in ensuring a good user experience.
Simplicity and ease of use will be the focus for our UI, plus a
modern aesthetic appealing to current design trends. Clear
options regarding the joining or hosting of meetings should
appear on the home page, with a layout that smoothly walks
users through the platform's features
