● teleconference
A conference call is a telephone meeting held between two or more locations through a telecommunications system. Technical terms such as telephone conferencing, phone conferencing, and audio conferencing are also sometimes used to refer to teleconferencing.
In a teleconference, audio or video data can be transmitted via one or more different telecommunication mediums, such as telephone, computer, television, radio, telegraph, and teletransmitter.

● Relationships
From the above definition we can easily see that teleconferencing is used as a covered term which includes video conferencing. Both video conferencing and teleconferencing support one-to-one or many-to-many conferencing for the purpose of real-time communication and collaboration across a telecommunications system.
● Differences
1. Teleconferencing is voice or audio-video communication, while video conferencing supports conferencing by providing both video and voice, so that you can absolutely see the person when you are listening to the communicator.
2. Teleconferencing is capable of transmitting data during the conference using traditional PBX or VoIP systems while video conferencing offers VoIP services. The formal is less bandwidth intensive, while the latter is heavily dependent on network broadband.
3. In addition to the audio and video data transmitted during the conference that teleconferencing can provide, video conferencing can also allow you to share more information such as files, applications, whiteboard and so on.
