teleconferences
Virtual group discussions
Teleconferences are meetings conducted remotely, with participants connected by telephone or video rather than gathered in one place.
The term covers audio-only conference calls and video meetings: We held weekly teleconferences with the overseas team.
The verb teleconference means to participate in such a meeting.
Now often shortened to just "call" or replaced by specific platform names.
