video teleconference

Online face-to-face call

A video teleconference is a meeting conducted remotely using video and audio technology, allowing participants in different locations to see and hear each other in real time.

The term emphasizes the visual component that distinguishes it from audio-only conference calls: We held a video teleconference with the Tokyo office.

Often shortened to videoconference or simply video call.
