Since North Korea's internet is heavily censored, usage of video conferencing is quite rare. However, there are several instances of North Korea using both Chinese and North Korean developed video conferencing technologies in recent years, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. This page documents some of these examples.

Rakwon

Rakwon is a North Korean videoconferencing software, used in universities for e-learning, for party meetings, weather center collaboration, and more.[1][2] On first glance, it appears to be designed based on Adobe Connect.

Voov Meeting

Voov is a Chinese teleconferencing software made by Tencent. Some university professors have used it to collaborate internationally in the past.[3]
