English term or phrase: con-call
Bonsoir,
je traduis un texte sur les bonne pratiques d'un grand groupe chimique. Dans la partie "Well being and Health at work", on parle de "con-call", je trouve très peu d'occurences sur google, quasi rien en français, comprends l'idée globale, mais je me demande ce dont il s'agit et s'il existe une tradiction. Voici la phrase (pas écrit par un natif) : "Where possible employees are encouraged to avoid travel if a con-call or a net meeting will be sufficient to address the project requirements".
merci d'avance

audio téléconférence
conference call is a telephone call in which the calling party wishes to have more than one called party listen in to the audio portion of the call. The conference calls may be designed to allow the called party to participate during the call, or the call may be set up so that the called party merely listens into the call and cannot speak. It is often referred to as an ATC (Audio Tele-Conference).

Conference calls can be designed so that the calling party calls the other participants and adds them to the call. In most cases, the participants are able call into the conference call themselves. They do so either by dialing into a "conference bridge" (a specialized type of equipment that links telephone lines), or by using a special telephone number set up for that purpose.

Most companies use a specialized service provider for conference calls. These service providers maintain the conference bridge, and provide the phone numbers used to access the meeting or conference call.

Three-way calling is available (usually at an extra charge) for most customers on their home or office phone line. To three way call you call the first person you wish to talk to. Then you must press the flash button and dial the other person's phone number. While it is ringing press flash again. This will put your three people together. This option allows callers to add a second outgoing call to an already connected call. Usage
