What is a Teleconference?

A teleconference is a meeting that enables two or more people to communicate in real-time from different locations using telecommunications technology.

This can include audio-only calls (such as traditional conference calls) or meetings that also utilize video and screen sharing, allowing participants to see and hear each other as if they were in the same room.

Teleconferences are commonly used in business settings, education, and remote team collaboration. Participants can join via telephone, computer, or mobile device, often by dialing a number or logging into an online platform at a scheduled time.

Modern teleconferencing platforms often include features such as:

• Audio and video communication
• Screen and file sharing
• Chat or messaging functions
• Recording capabilities

Teleconferencing is a cost-effective and efficient way to bring people together for discussions, presentations, or decision-making without the need for travel or physical presence. It plays a vital role in today’s remote and hybrid work environments, enabling teams and organizations to stay connected and productive regardless of location.
