NextivaONE entry points | 
Introduction:
By implementing guest login support for our desktop application, we are enabling users – including guests – to access the app and its enhanced media call features from any computer in a shared space. Without this capability, users would not be able to use the desktop application.
Problem(s):
- 
As a Nextiva customer, I would like to be able to invite non-NextivaONE customers to media call meetings in order to collaborate with them.
 - 
As a Nextiva customer, I would like to request the ability to invite non-NextivaONE customers to media call meetings in order to engage with our staff and learn more about our products and services.
 - 
As a Nextiva customer, I would like to request the addition of a conference room machine that allows anyone within my organization to join meetings as a guest. This will expand my capability to collaborate and communicate within my organization.
 
My role:
- 
In my role as the main designer on this project, I worked as part of a cross-functional team including two product managers, a front-end engineer, and a back-end engineer.
 - 
As a designer-generalist, I was responsible for delivering the entire UX package, including conducting research, creating low-fi and hi-fi designs, creating flows and prototypes, providing annotations and documentation, and performing design validation and QA.
 
Similar experiences with similar scenarios
Finding a solution (Research, Concepting, Collaboration, etc.):
- 
In this project, I collaborated with the product managers to understand their vision and gather requirements.
 - 
I also conducted competitive and comparative research and created multiple flows, which we reviewed as a team and iterated upon.
 - 
I validated prototypes and flows with the design and research teams, incorporating their suggestions and feedback.

Outcomes / Success stats:
- 
After several design iterations and close collaboration with the design and product management teams, we developed a final prototype that addressed both business needs and customer pain points.
 - 
We added an entry point for guest users above the footer of the page, which was de-emphasized but still visible.
 - 
Initially, we had considered adding a more prominent entry point for joining meetings as a guest, but we found that this group was unlikely to be significant in size.
 - 
We also created flows for tenant-to-tenant communication within the NextivaONE app, allowing companies to invite each other to video meetings.
 - 
Finally, we modified the video meeting invitation emails to include an option to download the app, with a motivational message encouraging users to do so for a superior user experience and better connection quality and audio.

Learnings:
- 
To my surprise, it was challenging to align with several related departments and stakeholders who had different visions for this seemingly straightforward project. There is a possibility that this project may be de-prioritized as a result.
