The simplest way to use video conferencing is to connect two sites in one meeting.  Whether it be Vancouver calling Sao Paolo or Denver calling Shangai – one site initiates the call to the other which activates an instant visual meeting.  The receiving system rings just like a phone, the system turns on and the meeting begins.

Unless one room is privately owned, in this scenario there would be two room & equipment rental charges but only one long distance ‘talking’ charge based on minutes used.  These charges would be assumed by the initiating party and are based on current long distance rates carried by CTS.
