Global companies have also been using this service in training fresh employees. By using this service, resourceful trainers from the other part of the world are can train trainees living miles away.

A Video conference can be done either by using desktop PC, through a dedicated video conference suite or even through mobile phones. However doing it by using the web has become increasingly popular.

The primary advantage of this service is that it is very cost effective. Also, the web is connecting the world and everyone has access to internet. It is likely that those you want to communicate to also have access to internet. This is especially advantageous in dealing with a client through web video conference.

Video conferencing using internet is different from web conferencing. In web conferencing, all the sources for communication including hearing aids, video devices are accesses from the internet. No external device is used in conducting a conference. But in internet video conferencing, the web is used as a connection mode. We can compare this to a telephone conversation. Just as we use a telephone connection but use a telephone device to converse, in video conference through internet, external aids are used for conversation and internet is only an aid to connect.
