Video Conferencing

 

Video Conferencing allows people from multiple locations to interact with each other. Those interactions are based on real time audio and video transmissions, that enable users quickly and effectively communicate with each other.

Video conferencing is designed to serve a conference, therefore it differs from a video call which is usually used by individual users for private purposes.

Desktop vs High End Video Conference

Video conferencing allows you to see and hear colleagues and customers in other locations face to face, without having to travel to meet in person. There are 2 main types of video conference:

  1. dedicated hardware-based Video Conference suites (Legacy)
  2. video conferencing that uses a standard computer, the internet and standard webcams (Webcam Video Conferencing)

247meeting's offering focuses on Webcam Video Conferencing as it offers greater flexibility and a significantly lower price. The table below gives a comparison of features
