Which term describes electronic meetings where participants are in different locations at the same time?

• A. Teleconference
• B. Synchronous meetings
• C. Hybrid meeting
• D. Remote session

Answer: (B)

Synchronous meetings are in real time, with participants joining from different locations at the same moment. That real-time, simultaneous participation is exactly what electronic meetings across distances are all about, whether you’re using video, audio, or chat to interact as the meeting unfolds. This timing aspect—everyone present together in the moment—defines the concept.

Teleconference describes the method (telecommunications used to connect people), and while many teleconferences are synchronous, the term focuses on the medium rather than the simultaneity. Hybrid meeting mixes in-person and remote attendees, which isn’t solely about electronic, real-time participation. Remote session isn’t a standard, clear term for this idea.
