Morphology
teleconference = conference (semi-transparent) = tele + confer + ence

Etymology
Teleconference combines the part tele-, meaning 'far', as in telephone and television, with conference, meaning 'meeting'. So a teleconference is a meeting with people who are far away, held by phone or video.
