What hardware is require

In order to actually set up a computer, first and foremost, you need a computer and a modem connected to the internet, you will also need a webcam to send all the images, a microphone to carry the sound, and speakers in order to hear the sound from the other end of the conversation. You also need to make sure that the person you wish to have a video conference with also has all of this equipment.

How it can be used

It can be used for both personal and professional reasons. For example, you may want to speak to a friend who is staying in another country. Large businesses also use video conferences to have company meetings with other branches of the organisation.
