A: Videoconferencing allows you to see, hear and speak to people at distant locations. Our system is two-way interactive, meaning you can be seen and heard as well as see and hear people at other locations. When people in a videoconference are located in more than two places, electronic equipment will switch the picture to the person speaking.
Q:
Can anyone, anywhere see me on television?
A: Only the people who are in the videoconferencing rooms which are part of
your session can see and hear you. Pictures and sound are transmitted over
lines similar to telephone lines.

Q:
Do I need training to use VIT's videoconferencing system?

or instructor, VIT staff will schedule an orientation to make you comfortable
with presentations over VIT.
