We made a pitch that outlined the current problem in the product and inspired the managers on how it could be improved in a short as well as in a long term.
Facilitations are more effective if facilitators know the age group and tech saviness of the participants.

People often point outwards to their external circumstances as the cause of their physical state of being. They will often point towards their vocation or day on the job as the reason for experiencing depression, anxiety or sleep disorders.
Participants seek opportunities for networking but don’t get the chance to.

Not having access to visualizing or measuring the quality of sleep easily makes it easier for people to ignore the role that sleep has in the quality of their life.
We identified patterns in form of attributes that users looked for in the product. These attributes became our guiding principles for the design decisions we made from there on.
Design Principles
Simplicity
The product should convey the choices of interactions to the novice users in a direct manner.
Agency
The product should allow the users to use their discretion while performing tasks.
Ease of use
Allowing users to find and do what they are looking for.
Flexibility
Making sure that the product provides leeway for errors and allows to come back from them.
Stage of the session
Depending on the part of the facilitation (start, middle, end), the product can cater to the services accordingly.
Design principles in application
We changed our outlook from looking towards online facilitation by not looking at it only through the lens of real-world facilitation. Soon we shifted our efforts to leveraging the digital capabilities while being mindful about the shortcomings of technology.
Challenges
How might we make setting up and conducting of a session faster, easier, smoother, and more inclusive?

We mapped out features in a way so that users can find what they want where they expect it.
Room panel is one of the unique feature of VF as it simulates a real-life like conference with the help of virtual rooms. A room offers one session on a particular topic. The sweet spot was to strike a balance between keeping facilitation private and public. One cannot enter a room if its locked or until one has a passcode to a passcode enabled room.
We added a search box to easily locate the room and an ‘add new room’ button that shows where the new room got created upon getting activated. The lobby would be the first place where everyone joins in before dispersing into their respective room to foster networking opportunities.
We incorporated the room setting into this panel for the facilitator so that they can keep the rooms ready by sharing the relevant links to the rooms, name the room and its topic of discussion before the conference begins. This allowed participants to get organised easily.

We launched the second version of the product after 2 months of work that involved research, design and development. The longer term improvements like sound cues, smoother video transition and higher level changes would be worked upon in the future.
