Data Conferencing refers to a communication session among two or more participants sharing computer data in real time. Interaction and presentation devices such as a screen, keyboard, mouse, camera, etc. can be shared or be able to control each other computer. It is used to distinguish from video conferencing and audio conferencing.
The data can include screen, documents, graphics, drawings and applications that can be seen, annotated or manipulated by participants.

Dataconferencing allows remote groups to view, share and collaborate on prepared documents, as well as to brainstorm ideas.
For these reasons, dataconferencing is often suitable to working meetings where established teams can collaborate without distance acting as a barrier.
Furthermore, the technology and investment required for dataconferencing is often much lower than for videoconferencing, making it easier to justify at all levels of the organization.
