Video conferencing can be defined as a real-time video session that takes place between two or more users who reside in different locations. This technology together with numerous functions facilitate virtual meetings with video/audio enabled. There are many brands in the market which are specialized in creating video software but very few can create highly productive and advanced ones like ezTalks. Videoconferencing is very useful as it helps users to schedule meetings, invite participants, record sessions, and share and even make presentations. Furthermore, many users can actively take part in a running session at the same time.

With video conferencing defined, here is some information on the video conferencing standards and protocol used in video conferencing. Video conferencing can be run across two types of networks i.e. packet switched and circuit switched.
