Face-to-face interaction makes video conferencing a more effective means of communication.

Video conferencing is an effective way to communicate with peers and business associates who are geographically separated. With some basic equipment and software, you can easily set up your business to start talking online.

  1. Knowing Your Terms

    • There is a distinction between a web conference and an online video conference. A web conference is a presentation or talk delivered over the Internet in which the viewers cannot interact with the presenters. A video conference simulates an in-person meeting, allowing participants to see and hear each other in real time.

    Equipment Needed

    • All video conference participants will need a webcam and either a headset with a built-in microphone or a desktop microphone and pair of speakers.. Participants should be in a quiet environment with reliable, high-speed Internet access.

    VoIP

    • Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) software makes setting up a video conference easy. There are many different VoIP service providers available, from free clients to commercial programs (see Resources). Make sure your selected VoIP provider supports streaming video.
