Salesroom Lobby UI

by Max Burnside

A few years back, I was asked by Salesroom to mock up some concepts for a video conferencing experience. Referred to as the "lobby", it would be an upgrade from the typical blank screen users face when opening a Zoom, Google Meet, etc. video conference. Users would be able to see the live video of other attendees before joining the call themselves. I mocked up a few concepts. The project ended up getting scrapped later on, but I figured I'd share one of the concepts. I reworked the visual design a bit from what I submitted years ago, but the core layout is largely unchanged. There are a lot of little details that make this a striking visual departure from standard conferencing experiences (both then in 2022 when I did the original work, and still to this day). Let's explore those details
