When you want to collaborate on a project with people who are geographically distributed, or you just want to have a chat, video conferencing can be a great way to communicate.
- Video conferencing is a technology that uses video cameras and computer screens to allow people to communicate visually in real-time over the Internet.
- Many instant messaging programs, such as Google Talk,
Windows Live Messenger or Skype, come with built-in software that allows you to use a video camera attached to your computer to communicate with someone else. - If you have advanced needs, such as document sharing or high-definition video, you can purchase products such as
Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro or WebEx Meeting Center. - If you have hundreds or thousands of people who need to receive a live video "stream," WebEx also offers LiveStream, and companies such as InterCall can manage large events for you. This method will probably require additional hardware.
- Many services and software designed for small groups using webcams come free of cost. However, if you need to share and interact with documents in real-time, most software that offers those features must be purchased.
