This document discusses different types of teleconferencing including audio and video conferencing. It defines teleconferencing as linking people across locations using electronic means. There are several types such as audio, video, and computer conferencing. Benefits include saving time and costs by moving information instead of people. Limitations include lack of non-verbal cues, visual presentations, and complex interpersonal communication being more difficult remotely.
