The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in online gaming as people seek ways to interact with others while staying at home. Applications like Bunch, We Were Here Together, Pokerface, and Changba have incorporated real-time video chat into their games to make the experience more engaging for users. However, complex forms of gaming such as eSports tournaments and fantasy sports have been disrupted by the pandemic due to connectivity issues and lack of live events. As social interaction remains limited, there is potential for online gaming to continue booming during this period, with a focus on enabling smooth user interactions through voice and video communication while ensuring app security and data safety.
