    The development of video on the Internet is the main trend of recent years. In addition to the usual videos, as content for consumption, video calls are increasingly being used: video messages and video calls. In ICQ, more than half of mobile call users prefer to chat with video. Due to the growing popularity of these functions, there is a need to make access to them as convenient and simple as possible.

    Therefore, we launch a contest and offer you to try your hand. Task: make a dream video chat. To do this, you need to use the redesign to shift the emphasis in the product interface towards video communications. This can be a one-on-one chat, video conference or online broadcast. The main thing is to give the impression of simplicity and familiarity of video communication. Of course, your favorite text chat should be at hand. Lightness, comfort and a bit of magic - this is what an ICQ user should feel.

    The application icon also needs to be rethought: remember the focus on the video. It is not necessary to take the existing design as a basis, fresh and bold ideas will have a significant advantage.

    Action plan:

    1. Choose a platform: iOS or Android.
    2. Design and draw the main application screens (minimum required: chat list screen and chat screen). If you are very impressed with the communication of the future, do not be shy and feel free to draw the video call interface as well!
    3. Make a transition diagram of the application (screenflow). (you can show the non-drawn screens with empty rectangles).
    4. Publish your work on Dribbble via rebound to this shot *. Detailed pictures can be shown in the attachment to your shot or by the link in the comments to it.
