This chapter contrasts two practices: videoconferencing and connected rooms, for using video to support distributed meetings. The differences in these practices are based on differing models of social interaction in distributed meetings. Basically, the users' conceptual model of videoconferencing (VC) is that a distributed meeting is composed of two local meetings that are interacting with each other; the users' conceptual model of connected rooms is that a distributed meeting is a single meeting taking place in a virtual space spanning two sites.
