LINE Planet quick start Making it easier to start with audio and video calls

Hello, World.

For beginners in programming, the first typical example often involves displaying "Hello, World" on a monitor. This serves as an introduction to creating their first working program.

What if you want to use audio or video call features? There isn't an iconic "Hello, World" equivalent in this domain, so you are free to say whatever you wish. However, before deciding what to say, you first need to create code that makes the audio and video call features work. This is where you might encounter your first major challenge.

The audio and video call features we use daily are technically complex because they must operate in real time. As a result, more amount of complex code is required than simply displaying "Hello, World" on a monitor. Because of this, users often face difficulties when integrating audio and video call features into their services.

That's why we decided to provide a quick start to help users easily and quickly experience and understand the features of LINE Planet. We aimed to make it accessible so that even users with a low level of IT knowledge could handle the features directly during the product development process using the quick start. In this article, we will share the experiences we had during this process.

Goal of the quick start

The primary goal of the quick start is to support users in successfully experiencing their first call using LINE Planet's audio and video call features. Our main goal was to shorten the time from start to success while guiding users easily so they don't get lost along the way.
