A conference call is a telephone call in which someone talks to several people at the same time.

The conference calls may be designed to allow the called party to participate during the call, or the call may be set up so that the called party merely listens into the call and cannot speak.

It is sometimes called ATC (audio tele-conference).

Web conferencing may be used as an umbrella term for various types of online collaborative services including web seminars ("webinars"), webcasts, and peer-level web meetings.

It may also be used in a more narrow sense to refer only to the peer-level web meeting context, in an attempt to disambiguate it from the other types of collaborative sessions.

Terminology related to these technologies is inexact, and no generally agreed upon source or standards organization exists to provide an established usage reference.

A webcast is a media presentation distributed over the Internet using streaming media technology to distribute a single content source to many simultaneous listeners/viewers.

A webcast may either be distributed live or on demand.

Essentially, webcasting is "broadcasting" over the Internet.

Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) is a category of “as a Service” or “Cloud” delivery mechanisms for Enterprise Communications.
