teleconference Last modified: Thursday, June 14, 2007
(1) To hold a conference via a telephone or network connection. Computers have given new meaning to the term because they allow groups to do much more than just talk. Once a teleconference is established, the group can share applications and mark up a common whiteboard. There are many teleconferencing applications that work over private networks. One of the first to operate over the Internet is Microsoft's NetMeeting. Also see videoconferencing. (2) To deliver live events via satellite to geographically dispersed downlink sites.
