Synchronous Communication

Synchronous communication happens when people interact in real-time. Most meetings include a dedicated time for synchronous communication.

Other examples of synchronous, or "real-time" communication include:

• Phone calls
• Bumping into someone and talking to them
• Dinner conversations
• Talking to your kids while driving them around
• Texting back-and-forth with your partner
• And any other time you spend in active conversation with other people.
