A video teleconference or video conferencing is the interaction in telecommunications technology that allows two or more people with different locations to interact through two-way audio and video transmissions simultaneously. This is the kind of groupware and is also called ‘visual collaboration’.

Just install the software applying Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to use online video conferencing, then you can talk to your friends or people (audience) as if your speakers on the phone, but it’s much more interactive.
You not only can talk to them directly, but you can write to them, you can see them face to face and also be able to exchange documents or files. And all this is happening live and in real time.
