Kokouspuhelu

Kokouspuhelu, often translated as conference call or group call, is a telephone call involving three or more people in different locations. This technology allows for real-time communication among multiple participants, facilitating discussions, collaborative work, and decision-making without the need for all parties to be physically present in the same room.

Conference calls can be initiated through various methods, including dedicated conferencing services, built-in features on some landlines and mobile phones, or through specialized software applications. These services often provide features such as muting individual lines, recording the conversation, and allowing participants to join or leave the call as needed.

The primary benefit of kokouspuhelu is its ability to connect people across geographical distances, saving time and travel expenses. It is widely used in business for team meetings, client consultations, and project updates. Educational institutions also employ conference calls for remote lectures or group study sessions. While convenient, successful conference calls often require good audio quality and clear communication etiquette to ensure all participants can be heard and understood effectively.
