A videoconference connects participants in simultaneous two-way communication via a network (usually the Internet). Everyone may see and speak with each other for real-time discussions.

Videoconference sites are located worldwide in public and private locations, including schools, government agencies, and businesses. One immediate benefit of videoconferencing technology is saving travel time and money, thus boosting productivity.
