Videoconference

A videoconference is a conversation between people at different locations. Videoconferences use technology to exchange pictures and sounds of the participants at each location.

How do Videoconferences operate?

There are two types of videoconference, a point-to-point videoconference and a multipoint conference.

How do I use Videoconference?

A videoconference is a two-way discussion rather than a one-way presentation; your involvement in a videoconference is most successful when you:

• actively engage and participate in the videoconference conversation;
• prepare for the videoconference so that you are able to contribute to the conversation, ask questions and make comments; and
• are mindful of the fact that the other participant/s may be distant and that their contexts may not necessarily be the same as yours. It is important that you clearly explain your comments and ideas.
