Speedy Video Dating

Hinge Video Prompts Lets Matches Join a Video Call

— April 15, 2021 — Lifestyle
Hinge Video Prompts is a new feature that helps matches get to know one another virtually before deciding to meet face-to-face. The feature invites matches to get a sense of one another on a video call with the aid of conversation starters. Research from Hinge Labs shows that people found these video dates less awkward than first dates and more than half of users ended up chatting with their virtual date for over an hour.

The Video Prompts include more than just questions, they also include interactive activities such as miniature scavenger hunts within the home. With prompts like these, daters have a fun and safe way to get to know their dates, especially if they are having trouble getting out of the house and finding activities to do in public.
Trend Themes
1. Virtual Dating - The popularity of virtual dating through video prompts creates opportunities for startups to develop interactive platforms and games for couples to use on video calls.
2. Interactive Activities - There is an opportunity for businesses to develop mini-games and other interactive activities for couples to get to know each other, even if they are miles apart.
3. Video Conversation Starters - There is a growing demand for video conversation starters that can help facilitate meaningful conversations between strangers in dating and other social contexts.
Industry Implications
1. Dating Apps - The video prompts feature can be integrated into other dating apps, creating opportunities for startups to bring a unique value proposition to the market.
2. Video Conferencing Platforms - Video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Skype can expand their offering by catering to the growing demand for virtual speed dating events and interactive activities.
3. Online Education - Educational platforms can incorporate interactive games and prompt-driven conversations in their virtual classrooms, creating an impactful learning experience for students.
