Challenges
The primary challenge was managing real-time collaboration with multiple users while ensuring system performance remained smooth and responsive. Integrating features for diverse use cases, such as meetings, brainstorming, and interviews, required balancing functionality with ease of use. Additionally, ensuring the platform could handle simultaneous interactions without lag and maintaining a user-friendly interface presented significant technical and design obstacles, demanding careful optimization and extensive testing to meet user expectations and support varied collaboration needs effectively.
