videoconferencing = videoconference (transparent) = video + conference + ing
Formed by the clear compound 'video' + 'conference', with the productive suffix '-ing' indicating the activity/process; meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Videoconferencing joins video ('to see') and conference ('a meeting'), so it literally means a 'meeting where people see each other'. That's why videoconferencing is a way to hold meetings with live video and sound between people in different places.
