Video conferencing is an interactive technological advancement. It allows a two-way mode of communication as it is designed to be used for 'teleconference' rather than for the use of an individual. The audio and the video are compressed digitally in real time. Basically, the same technology that allows audio and video streaming in the Internet makes video conference possible. Because of this, the video conference is sometimes called web video conference.

The video conference facilities used for video conference are the following:

- video input, like the web camera or video camera
- video output, like the television, monitor, and LCD projectors
- audio input, like the microphone
-audio output, like the speakers
- data transfer, like the Internet

These video conference facilities would help in inputting the video that would then be converted into packets that the computer could read. For the audio, the use of phone modems would help to convert the sound into analog waves, just like in the telephone.

Nowadays, video conferencing is booming because the video conference facilities are one of the cheapest ways to communicate with people from around the world. The video conference services are readily available when you log in the Internet. Video conference is also used in the following areas:

Education - Online education is one of the technology that the video conference helps to facilitate. Education becomes reachable as long distance education (or eLearning) becomes available even to far-flung places. What the learner needs is the correct facilities and the Internet to study his lessons.

Medical services - Just like in long distance education, there is also long distance medical services. You could consult a doctor just by talking to him via video conference.

Business - Video conference could be used to train employees, sell products, talk to other employees around the world, and conduct work groups.

Government - The government could now provide for the safety of the people as the government officials could talk with other officials via real time.

These are just examples of the advantages of video conference. This is just one of the things that technology could brings us.
