What is Video Chat?
Video-based chat is a face-to-face visual communication between Internet users with the help of a webcam or a smartphone. We all know what a video-based chat is, but here’s how it came into existence – the term video chat originated from programs that were used in text-based chats to bring out a two-way video interaction. It is generally used when video-based interaction is incorporated into an existing service. It is also known as video conferencing and video calling.
Types of Video Chat
Browser-based and Computer-based:
