What is Voice over IP and how does it work?
Voice over IP or Voice over Internet Protocol is the name given to voice transmission over Internet-based networks instead of traditional telephone networks. It is commonly known as video calling. You can establish a connection with anyone at any time, as long as you both have a device with an Internet connection.
Understanding how voice over IP works can be a bit tricky, as it converts data (voice, audio, video) into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. Some examples might be Apple’s Facetime or Google Meet, but the options are varied depending on your goals and needs.
