What this question tests
Tests product design skill: adding a feature to an existing enterprise social tool while respecting workplace bandwidth, moderation, and search needs.
How to approach it
- Clarify Chatter's job: internal enterprise updates and knowledge sharing inside Salesforce orgs, not consumer social.
- Identify who needs video: sales teams sharing demo clips, executives posting updates, and support teams recording walkthroughs.
- Define the core flow: record or upload, auto captioning for accessibility, and inline playback in the feed without leaving the page.
- Address enterprise constraints: storage limits, admin controls over who can post video, and searchability of spoken content.
- Propose a success metric, such as weekly active video posters or video view completion rate.
- Confirm with the interviewer whether this is desktop only or must also work in the mobile Salesforce app.
What a strong answer includes
- Scopes an MVP: 2 minute video posts with auto generated transcripts so content stays searchable inside Chatter and Salesforce knowledge search.
- Adds admin controls, storage quotas per org and a toggle to restrict who can post video, since IT admins gate Salesforce features tightly.
- Prioritizes mobile recording first, since sales reps often want to post a quick client update from their phone between meetings.
- Proposes measuring adoption by weekly video posts per active org, not raw view counts, since enterprise engagement differs from consumer virality.
Common mistakes
- Designing a consumer style video feed instead of respecting enterprise storage and admin control needs.
- Ignoring that transcripts and search are what make video actually useful inside a knowledge tool like Chatter.
Likely follow-up questions
- How would you handle video storage costs across thousands of Salesforce orgs?
- What would make an admin turn this feature off?
