System and method for queued and timed one-on-one video conference calls

A system for facilitating a timed video call, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory having executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
• receive over a communication network a request from a host on a first user device to initiate a timed video call with one or more guests on one or more second user devices, the request comprising a message including a configuration for a queue wherein the queue determines an order and time for the one or more guests to speak during the timed video call;
• transmit over the communication network to the host on the first user device and the one or more guests on the one or more second user devices a link or invitation to participate in the timed video call;
• receive over the communication network a command to join the timed video call from the host on the first user device and the one or more guests on the one or more second user devices;
• and
• stream video and audio between the host on the first user device and a given one of the one or more guests on a given one of the one or more second user devices based on the queue, the streamed video and audio rendered on a call interface on the first user device of the host and on the given one of the second user devices of the given one of the guests, the call interface comprising a timer ribbon including a host portion indicator corresponding to a first length of time, a guest portion indicator corresponding to a second length of time, and an indicator for a next one of the one or more guests on the queue.

Non-transitory computer-readable media comprising program code that when executed by a programmable processor causes execution of a method for facilitating a timed video call, the computer-readable media comprising:

• computer program code for receiving over a communication network a request from a host on a first user device to initiate a timed video call with one or more guests on one or more second user devices, the request comprising a message including a configuration for a queue wherein the queue determines an order and time for the one or more guests to speak during the timed video call;
• computer program code for transmitting over the communication network to the host on the first user device and the one or more guests on the one or more second user devices a link or invitation to participate in the timed video call;
• computer program code for receiving over the communication network a command to join the timed video call from the host on the first user device and the one or more guests on the one or more second user devices;
• and
• computer program code for streaming video and audio between the host on the first user device and a given one of the one or more guests on a given one of the one or more second user devices based on the queue, the streamed video and audio rendered on a call interface on the first user device of the host and on the given one of the second user devices of the given one of the guests, the call interface comprising a timer ribbon including a host portion indicator corresponding to a first length of time, a guest portion indicator corresponding to a second length of time, and an indicator for a next one of the one or more guests on the queue.
