audiovisual media

Sound and picture

Audiovisual media are forms of communication that combine sound and images—film, television, video, and similar formats.

The term distinguishes these from purely visual media (print, photography) or purely audio media (radio, podcasts).

In educational and corporate settings, audiovisual media often refers to presentation tools: projectors, screens, speakers, and the content displayed through them.
