Video conferencing is a conference between two or more participants at different sites by using computer networks to transmit audio and video data.A
A point-to-point (two-person) video conferencing system works much like a video telephone. Each participant has a video camera, microphone, and speakers mounted on his or her computer. As the two participants speak to one another, their voices are carried over the network and delivered to the other’s speakers, and whatever images appear in front of the video camera appear in a window on the other participant’s monitor.
Multipoint video conferencing allows three or more participants to communicate as if they were sitting right next to each other.
Benefits of Video Conferencing
Time & Cost-Savings
The ability for managers, internal teams, and IT personnel to be in client meetings or solve issues without leaving their offices can help drive business productivity. Providing video capacity for your customers can create a competitive offering. Even hiring can be less of a hassle if persons unable to be part of the live interview process can evaluate the candidate from the recorded video call.
Video Recording
Increased attendance from dispersed internal teams and clients is possible for participants who otherwise would have been debilitated by location. Further, video recording capabilities mean that, if needed, all individuals who need the data (such as staff training or presentations) can get the information when it is easiest for them, rather than delaying or not attending the meetings.
Structured Meetings
Because people are calling from different locations, defined start and end-times are often agreed upon prior to the video call. This allows for a more intensive discussion with less chit-chat, and participants are more likely to stay alert and focused on what is discussed. Instead of frustrating email trains where meaning or intent behind messages can be obscured, participants can see important visual cues in body-language from customers, partners, and colleagues.
