Video Conferencing

Video conferencing is a live video and voice communication between locations all over the world, it is a very effective communication channel and very simple to use. It can be viewed at once by one or many people at a time, which makes it popular for large companies.

It can be used by large businesses so that they may communicate with other branches over the world if necessary all at the same time. They are also used by normal people especially if they want to see and talk to relatives that live across the world.

 Here’s how to use it:

·        Get a computer, internet connection and a webcam; you also need a large screen to display the images. You also need a microphone to be able to talk to other people.

·        Install the additional software programs that are needed to work the video conference, it may need to connect or synchronize properly to the other person or people.

·        Once this has been completed you may start the conference, the sound or images that you make will be transmitted to the other person or people as if you were actually speaking to them face to face.

 

Video conferencing is good because:

·        For large companies it allows people to have meetings whilst staying in their own buildings.

·        It is useful for disabled or old people who can’t walk or travel very much

·        You can talk to more than one person at a time

Video conferencing is bad because:

·        It requires a lot of hardware (Webcam, Headset or Microphone) 

·        The software is expensive
