teleconferencing

Virtual group calls

Teleconferencing is conducting meetings or discussions with participants in different locations, connected by telecommunications technology.

The term covers audio-only conference calls and video conferences: We'll handle the budget review by teleconferencing with the London office.

The practice became standard in business settings and expanded dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic.
