Video conferences
Video conferencing provides the possibility of having one or more people, who cannot be physically present, participate in or to arrange a conference, international congress or meeting where some or all participants are at different locations, maybe even on different continents. Nevertheless, the impression of actually coming together is created by modern technology. Video conferencing takes place usually in special conference rooms or on company premise
Interpreting at video conferences can be either consecutive or simultaneous. Video conferences with interpreting should not go beyond four hours as a high degree of concentration and attention is called for. Sometimes, whispering is sufficient, for example, when only 1 participant is not (sufficiently) familiar with the conference language.
