From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A videoconference is a live connection between people in separate locations for the purpose of communication, usually involving audio and often text as well as video. At its simplest, videoconferencing provides transmission of static images and text between two locations. At its most sophisticated, it provides transmission of full-motion video images and high-quality audio between multiple locations.
Videoconferencing can take place either over high-speed data networks (such as fiber optic) or satellite-based networks.
A typical videoconference program is Netmeeting.
