In Web Room - Optimized Invite Friends Section

[oguzilerle]

Description

Currently:

• Room ID is less useful on web, compared to mobile. Only thing we can do with room ID is, share it with a friend who is playing on mobile. Also, its easier to share URL with them, and they join by clicking the URL

• On Web, only way to join rooms is by pasting room URL. Invite friends section might be taking more space than the amount of space it actually requires. Shown in below ss:

• Ideally, the 'Invite Friends' section shouldn't be nested in the game settings. However, relocating it would likely require more refactoring than the potential benefit

Expected:

• Can we make "Invite Friends" section take half of the space it currently takes, while keeping the provided info? Aim is to optimize space 'Invite friends' section take
• Theres also a lot of text in this section. Ideally, player would need to read only what they want to / need to
• Saved space can be used for other sections of settings, or not

Actions

• [ ] Design an optimized version for invite friends section
• [ ] Developer should analyze CopiedRoomLink events and make sure metrics aren't affected negatively.

here's a quick fix Option 1: Option 2:

[demiculus]

In design having a call to action vs enabling people to do that action are 2 things that yield different results. Having a CTA always outperforms enabling.

This means that if we have a copy button. or Invite friends text players on average will be more likely to take those actions and invite people.

Thus Option 2 is a no go. Since it'll decrease our growth rate.

Option 1 still feels off. I wouldn't want to remove Invite Friends words in favor of simplicity.

Agree that having a CTA has a higher impact.

Given the context create room, main goal is to create room, sub goal is to invite friends. Players who create a room have the intention of:

1. playing with their friends
2. Having a room setting of their preference and see who in the lobby wanna play

Sharing link would be applicable to case 1 in which they already have the intention of playing with their friends, where they would naturally look for the button/icon to share link

So having a CTA or not would not have a drastic difference since the intent is already there, but it might help them look for the button faster (if that's what you are trying to say)

Either way, this problem isn't critical for us to change the current layout, so we can keep it as it is for now.
