2. TELECONFERENCING
 ‘Tele’ means distance, and ‘conference’ is a
meeting at which people have formal discussions.
 Teleconferencing refers to the live exchange of
information between two or more people in different
locations through a telecommunications system, so
that they could hear, or both hear and see each
other, for the purpose of communication in real
time.
 Many phone conferencing systems require a login
and personal identification number (PIN) to access
the system. This helps protect confidential
information during the call.

3.  Through teleconferencing, companies can conduct
meetings, training, demonstrations and workshops
by phone or online instead of in person.
 Banks often use conference calls to give status
reports to large numbers of listeners. Other
businesses use conference calls to help co-workers
communicate, plan and brainstorm.
 To connect to the call, attendees call a designated
number (MeetMe conferencing), or an operator or
moderator calls each participant (ad hoc
conferencing).
