Teleconferencing allows people in different locations to meet electronically through technologies like phones, computers, and video equipment. There are several types including audio, video, and computer conferencing. Teleconferencing can save time and costs by moving information instead of people. However, it lacks nonverbal cues like body language and eye contact. Video conferencing provides live visual connections between multiple locations. It enables remote teaching and guest speakers. While easy to use, it lacks personal interaction and can have technical issues. Audio conferencing is a phone meeting between multiple callers but does not allow notes or interactivity with large groups. Both have benefits of collaboration but disadvantages without visuals or personal interaction.
