Videoconferencing
A videoconference (also known as a videoteleconference) is a set of interactive
telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to interact via two-way video and audio transmissions simultaneously. It has also been called visual collaboration and is a type of
groupware. It differs from
videophone in that it is designed to serve a conference rather than individuals.

video conferencing
<
communications> A discussion between two or more groups of people who are in different places but can see and hear each other using electronic communications. Pictures and sound are carried by the telecommunication network and such conferences can take place across the world.
To overcome the
bandwidth and
latency limitations of current networks (especially the
PSTN), some form of
video compression is often used.
