                           VIDEO CONFERENCING

                     In the past, we used telephones and mobile phones to talk to our friends and relatives. With
                     advancements in technology, we can now see the person we're talking to. This is called video
                     conferencing. In video conferencing, two or more people in different locations can communicate

                     using both audio and video. To use video conferencing, you need an Internet connection, a
                     webcam and a microphone connected to your computer or laptop.
                     Video conferencing is a very helpful tool. It allows people in different places to meet face-to-

                     face. It has improved e-learning by letting teachers in cities share their lessons with students in
                     far-off areas. In healthcare, doctors can guide surgeries happening in other hospitals without
                     being there in person. Many online chat services offer video conferencing and there are special
                     programs for it. Popular ones include Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.

                     Microsoft Teams

                     Microsoft Teams was launched by Microsoft in 2017 as a collaboration platform
                     designed to bring people together for communication and teamwork. It allows
                     users to chat, hold video and audio meetings, share files and collaborate on

                     projects — all within one integrated workspace. Teams is widely used in schools,
                     businesses and organisations to improve productivity and teamwork.
                     To use Teams, you need a Microsoft account and an Internet connection is required. It supports

                     instant messaging, voice calls, video conferencing and integration with other Microsoft 365 apps
                     like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Teams helps you stay connected with colleagues, classmates or
                     friends, whether you are working remotely or in the office.

                     With Teams, you can schedule or join meetings, host webinars or conduct live events with up
                     to 1,000 participants. You can create channels to organise conversations by topics or projects,
                     share your screen to give presentations and collaborate on documents in real time. Teams also
                     includes features like recording meetings, live captions and background blur to maintain privacy.

                                                                                                   Internet Services    115
