Which term describes communication delivered via video conferences and online presentations?

• A. Written Communication
• B. Oral Communication
• C. Computer-based or Digital Communication
• D. Audio-visual Communication

Answer: (D)

When messages are delivered with both sound and visual elements through electronic platforms, like video calls and online presentations, the term is audio-visual communication. This approach combines what you see (the speaker, slides, shared screens) with what you hear (the speaker’s voice), making the communication richer and more effective than text-based or purely spoken formats. Written communication is text-only, so it lacks the real-time visuals; oral communication refers to spoken words without accompanying visuals. Computer-based or digital communication is a broader umbrella that can include text, data, or multimedia, but the defining feature of video conferences and online presentations is the simultaneous use of audio and visual channels, which is captured by audio-visual communication.
