                 Video Conferencing
                 Video conference is a live meeting held between two or more geographically separated people.
                 Each participant requires a video camera, a microphone, speakers and a high-speed Internet
                 connection to transmit audio and video data. As we speak, members of the meeting hear our
                 voices on their speakers. Anything in front of the camera, such as the person’s face, appears
                 in a window on each participant’s screen. Video conferencing is used in businesses to conduct
                 meetings or online classes for students located anywhere in the world, and in the healthcare
                 industry by doctors to interact with patients and colleagues. Examples of applications that
                 support video conferencing are Google Meet, Skype and Zoom.
