Web conferencing is used to share different types of events with people scattered at different locations. It is sometimes required to have specific softwares installed for the web conferencing and these programs can be installed from the internet for the events of this method to run smoothly. This method is mostly used to share the conferencing events with others who are related to these events. After a conference the important events are recorded and shared to other people through this method.

Video conferencing is also a form of communication on the internet. The participants can deliver speeches and it is also possible to deliver lectures with the help of this method. Many businesses are employing video conferencing in order to have proper control and communication among their different branches which are scattered all over the world. It is also possible to use video conferencing for home uses as the users can meet their relatives who are residing at foreign countries and they can also see them and chat with them.

Video conferencing is mainly used in the business environment where two or more computers are connected through the internet with audio and video devices for perfect communication with other officials who are at far off places. Video conferencing is very successful for business and home use as it enables the users to meet others easily and see them and share different things with them and enjoy the feelings of a live communication like face to face communication. Different types of files can be shared through this method and users can get the latest information and the pictures about other places in a short interval of time.

This method is different from general phone calls as it is mainly meant for a conference and it involves many people for the conference but the calls can be done with mostly two persons. In the past it was difficult to have communication among different parts of the world and people find it a problem to communicate with their fellows who were residing at far off places. Mostly there were no links among people who were scattered at different parts of the world. It was a big problem which caused the people to avoid long journeys and also it caused the businesses to remain limited at a short area.

Web conferencing is sold as a service by different companies to the users but it is also possible to acquire a server to have this method on your own server. It is good to own a server for this method as the rentals for servers are expensive and not suitable if you have to do such types of conferences on a regular basis.
