Video Conferencing

How to use video conferencing?

Before video conferencing was like something people didn't even think was possible, because before technology couldn't allow to do such thing like look through some ''magic box'' to see one another and talk, but now it's possible and many people are using it because it is extremely useful to contact someone that might be far away or even if it's close by. Video conferencing is still getting better and better each and every day so in the near future we might be able to do some things that we might not be able to do right now.

Different types of video conferencing..

There are three types of video conferencing and some of them have high or low level of video quality and all three got different properties that can be used to adjust the video conferencing you just have to choose which one do you want to use. These three are:

• Desktop System
• Studio-Based System
• Computer Based System

Desktop System: As you might know you have hardware and software in your computer and in hardware part of it you have some special feature that is manually installed, it improves your video quality of video and audio it is really good for making a small conference calls online.

Studio-Based System: This system is probably most important because it offers the best quality that you can get, but one disadvantage of using this is that it is really expensive and not many people can afford it. This system is a big room of best progressed control system equipment, document viewers, overhead cameras, vision switchers, slide viewers. These are usually found in the big companies that work a lot and make online conferences as well as some big universities.

Computer Based System: Probably the cheapest method you can do to make video conferencing, but there is a down side there because the quality of the conference will be really low and that's why some people don't really like it because sometimes connection even can be interrupted. If you plan to talk to your friend it is a good thing to use and I am sure you won't mind the low quality where with business it will be crucial to have high quality that's why not that much people use this.

Some polite rules you might want to consider while using video conference.

• Always keep an eye contact with a person you talking to.
• Speak clearly and don't ''chew'' the words because sometimes it's hard to understand.
• Make your background simple, like something that doesn't move or it can affect your quality.
• Make sure a person you talking to is finished talking before you try to reply.
• Pay attention at all times, so people don't have to say the same thing twice.

Safety On and be careful!

Some people might be online just to abuse the others and sometimes it can be even criminals so you need to be careful and NEVER give your personal information to a person you don't know, if they are asking for it, it's probably someone you don't really want to talk about. Another case is someone might want to try to hack your account and will ask you to do some silly things like what's your pet's name but you might've answered that as your secret question so that another thing you don't want to do.

Always remember even if you are talking to someone you don't know pay some respect to that person, some people might report you for saying negative comments toward others and it will get you banned, and you don't want that.

Remember that you upload digital data to your profile that means other people can view it and for example if you will upload some silly stuff then when you try to apply for a job your manager can look at your profile they often do it especially with ''Facebook'' and ''Twitter''.

When using video conferencing you have to make sure you talking to the person you think you are. Make sure they are actually real ask them to wave at the times or anything to test that it isn't just a recorded video and someone's behind you trying to fool you. 

Also when talking to others you have to make sure you don't give any personal information like your street address, phone number or bank account details. People that might pretend to be someone might just be looking for easy people to rob by using fake identities. Also make sure those details don't show up on your profile when using video conferencing, because they easily view your digital content.

Data Security

Encryption: This is a great way to protect the information you are sending because it is aimed at the person that is receiving it and if someone tries and succeeds to hack it, then when they going to try to open it information will be unreadable that is a great way to transfer information through.

Backup: Really good way to restore your files that might be damaged or broken, a lot of people are using it because really who want to lose their hours of work.

Firewall: Firewall's can be your best friends, they are located in the software and they are identifying the data that comes in to your computer or network and it doesn't connect any data that doesn't follow firewall rules. Some viruses can't affect the computers because firewall blocks the data they send. 

Secured Webpages: Some webpages use secure webpage protection, that means if you are trying to connect bank or important personal information like entering password it makes things secure, they encrypt the data or in another words code the data that is entered that means anyone who tries to hack it can't see it. It is very important especially when you do banking online, because you don't want to ''share'' your money.
