The development of video teleconferencing (VTC) technology took place in the United Kingdom and the United States. The basic equipment needed for users to participate in VTC is a camera, microphone, strong internet connection, a display (laptop, desktop monitor, television screen, etc.), speakers (built-in computer speakers, external speaker, or headphones), and a video conferencing software/program.
