Video conferencing is a communications technology that integrates video and voice to connect people with each other as if they were in the same room.  Each participant needs a computer, webcam, microphone or speakers, and broadband internet connection.  Participants see and hear each other in real-time, allowing natural conversations not possible with voice-only communications technology.

Video conferencing brings people face-to-face virtually, saving time and money on traveling and enhancing convenience.  Universities use video conferencing as a way to offer courses remotely.  Business leaders use video conferencing to meet with important contacts while on the go.  Health care providers use video conferencing to help patients in remote locations.  The experience of video conferencing has become increasingly natural and intuitive to many people everywhere.
