However, older adults might have a knowledge gap or age-related barriers using CMC technologies like messenger services or video-based platforms on a mobile device. Consequently, and especially now, they often feel lonely since no physical meetings are possible, which in turn is negatively impacting their mental health. Therefore, a new CMC video call system for older adults that addresses these age-related issues is designed. This article presents the designing process, which was based on a contextual design approach.enComputer-Mediated CommunicationContextual DesignElderly-Centered DesignText/Workshop Paper10.18420/muc2021-mci-ws06-248
