video conferencing

using a computer, video camera, and network such as the
Internet, to conduct a live conference between two or more people. Video
conferencing is an extremely useful method of communication because it saves
people the time and expense of travel and can often accomplish many of the
things a physical meeting can. A two-person videoconference is known as
point-to-point, while more than two people involved in a session is a multipoint
conference. Until recently, video conferencing was prohibitive due to the costs
of the equipment required, however, hardware costs have become more afford-able
within the recent past.
