telephone conference
Call with colleagues
A telephone conference is a call connecting three or more participants, allowing group discussion without physical meeting.
Common in business settings: We have a telephone conference with the London office at noon.
Often shortened to conference call or, increasingly, just call—though video has largely supplanted audio-only formats.
