What is Interactive Videoconferencing?

Videoconferencing is where two or more people communicate with each other from two or more geographically or physically separated locations using audio and video (like a phone call with video). Using a camera, microphone, monitor, and a videoconference codec (compressor - decompressor) at each location, we are able to participate in live, interactive videoconferences with other sites with similar equipment. Each sites' codec is connected to other sites using digital transmission systems, such as ISDN (dial-up digital phone lines) or the Internet.
