Definition: video chat


Communicating visually with another person via computer or mobile device. Although the terms video chat, "video calling" and "videoconferencing" are used synonymously, video chat originally referred to one-to-one communications typically in a small window without the many options available in full-blown videoconferencing. See chat, video calling, video instant messaging, videoconferencing and Glide.
