Video chat has been a part of our lives for over a decade. Also known as a video call or video conference, this term derives precisely from the evolution of text-based chats.

With the integration of two-way video technology, the use of video chat became widespread: it is, therefore, **face-to-face visual communication online**.

## Video chat and video conference

Although video chat refers primarily to point-to-point interaction, it can also be used for multipoint (one-to-many) interactions. This distinguishes between video chat and video conferencing.

We have already had a chance to clarify the [difference](https://www.zegocloud.com/blog/group-video-calls-video-conference).

## Video chat SDK
What makes it possible to include video chat in any application and software, whether on Android, iPhone, and computer, is a **Video Chat SDK or Software Development Kit**. This software kit assists in everything that can facilitate video communication.
