Video Conferencing The Facts!

Video conferencing is when two or more people perform a conference using video or audio outlets on their computers.  Usually both users are in seperate locations, this is similar to a video telephone but the users conect to each other using the internet.  

Video Conferencing is used to hold meetings, conferences or even interviews, this is useful because this means important meetings can undergo at anytime under any circumstances.

When doing a video conference you can sell products easier because there is no need for long-term travel which means you can present your work to a larger audience from multiple locations.

The Pros and Cons of video conferencing

Video conferencing is a good way of telecommunication because it is a cheaper way of communicating with business associates, There is also no long-term travelling to a meeting or conference, You can hold more than one meeting at any period of time.

Now here are a couple of bad points about using video conferencing; A conference is never as personal as a face to face interaction between clients, It may be cheaper in the long run but it is not cheap to purchase and equip yourself with the hardware needed to make video conferencing possible and you could easily have connection issues such as lag or even a breakdown in connections between two locations.

You will need a high quality webcam/camcorder, projector, drop down screen, monitor, good standard headphone/microphones, VCR/DVD recorder/players, wireless remote controlls and auxiliary audio/video sources.  All these pieces of equipment are essential for good telecommunication within the workplace, another essential piece of equipment is a web conferencing server this allows easier interaction between clients online.
