What is Videoconferencing?

Videoconferencing takes using the phone to the next level. It allows you to see as well as hear the person you are calling, thus giving you the advantage of seeing their facial expression, their body language, and their reactions to your words. It is virtually the next best thing to being in the same room as the person you are calling.

With videoconferencing, people can see full-motion pictures of each other, hear what is being said, and have the priceless feeling of being together regardless of the distance that separates them. In this way, videoconferencing creates an environment where ideas, knowledge, and inspiration can easily flow amongst colleagues, friends and family. The result is a stronger form of communication with lasting memories – all without the need to travel.

Why is Videoconferencing so useful?

Videoconferencing gives people the ability to instantly interact at any distance, whether they are across the street from each other or on opposite ends of the globe. It allows people to talk as if they were in the same room. Time and money is being saved as travel and accommodation costs are being reduced. Communication is being improved as people meet more often and share knowledge and ideas more effectively.

In short, videoconferencing brings people together for less.

Where can Videoconferencing be used?

You can use video conferencing at any location where a television and a broadband Internet connection is available, whether in an office or at the comfort of your own living room.

Why Videoconference now?

Videoconferencing was once an expensive technology used only by heads of state. Today, it is a practical and affordable tool- for homes or offices - that reduces costs and improves interaction.
