videoconferences

Online face-to-face gatherings

Videoconferences are meetings conducted over video links, allowing participants in different locations to see and hear each other in real time.

The term covers everything from formal business meetings to casual catch-ups: We held weekly videoconferences with the overseas team.

The singular can be a noun or verb: Let's videoconference tomorrow.
