video conferencing
Online face-to-face calls
Video conferencing is real-time communication between people in different locations using video and audio transmitted over the internet.
Once limited to corporate boardrooms with expensive equipment, it became routine during the COVID-19 pandemic: We have a video conference at three.
The activity appears as a verb: I've been video conferencing all day.
