Video Conference allows live visual communications between two or more locations. These locations are normally geographically separated by large distances. Video Conferencing allows for communication of Video, Audio and PC Content.

Video communication is available via camera capture or content connected to the video conference codec IE: PowerPoint, DVD Video etc. Audio communication is available via microphones and other connected audio devices.

Video Conference is available on dedicated hardware, computer, smart devices and even certain hardwired telephones. With the wide range of video collaboration hardware devices, almost anyone can participate in a meeting.

Video communication network infrastructure can be provided as appliance or cloud based video bridges. These video bridges allow for multiple concurrent meetings across a network infrastructure. Meetings can be setup with multiple participants, even in the thousands. The video bridge also allows different communication devices to connect and communicate over different video protocols. A meeting could consist of Skype, mobile phones, PC’s, video codecs and even PSTN phones.

Software Video Conference

In the last few years software based video conferencing has become more popular than hardware systems. Software codecs like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Blue Jeans etc. can be run from a PC or mobile device with a camera and microphone. This has made video communication accessible to more people and organisations.

With the large adoption of software based video conferencing, hardware manufacturers have developed USB camera, microphones and speakers. This allows boardrooms, training rooms and classrooms to be professionally equipped with high quality equipment and run a video conference of your choice directly from a computer.
