Synchronous conferencing is the formal term used in science Science refers to any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice, in particular in computer-mediated communication Computer-Mediated Communication is defined as any communicative transaction which occurs through the use of two or more networked computers.

The text is conveyed via devices connected over a network such as the Internet systems, given they provide a text-based Usually used in reference to a computer application, especially a computer game, a text-based application is one whose primary input and output are based on text rather than graphics. This does not mean that text-based applications do not have graphics, just that the graphics are secondary to the text multi-user chat function. The word synchronous in this case is not to be considered a technical term, but rather describing how it is perceived by humans—chat happens in real time before your eyes.
