A video distribution server according to an embodiment of the present invention promotes the viewing of live videos. The server is communicably connected to a user terminal via a communication network and provides a live video distribution service for distributing and viewing a live video to the user via the user terminal. The server associates (adds) the tag input by the user who is viewing a live video with this live video and presents information on the live video being distributed based on the associated tag. Therefore, the user can know the current content (topic) of the live video being distributed from the information based on the tag input by the actual viewer. As a result, for example, a new user can comfortably start viewing the live video.

System, method, and computer-readable medium including program for distributing live video

A system for distributing live videos includes: one or more computer processors that: distribute first live videos provided by a distributor to viewers; manage a value of a predetermined parameter associated with the distributor for each of the viewers, wherein for each of the viewers, the predetermined parameter increases as one or both of viewing time and a number of times of viewing of the first live videos increases; notify a start of distribution of a second live video provided by the distributor to one or more of the viewers whose predetermined parameter is less than a predetermined value, but not to the other viewers whose predetermined parameter is greater than or equal to the predetermined value.

System, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions for distributing live video

A video distribution server according to one embodiment of the present disclosure promotes entry of a new viewer into a live video distribution (live streaming) service. The server provides a user with the live video distribution service for distributing and viewing a video in real time via a user terminal. The server generates a message based on input information by a viewer of the video being distributed, and posts the message on an SNS by a distributor of the video, and thus allows a user of the SNS to know a situation and an atmosphere of live distribution in the video distribution service.

System, method, and computer-readable medium including program for providing live video distribution service

A video distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a video distribution server and a user terminal, in which the server provides a live video distribution service for distributing and viewing live video to a user via the user terminal. The system is configured such that the distribution screen presented to the distributor of the live video has a comment display area for displaying at least part of the comment group including comments from viewers, and the display mode is based on at least the number of hidden subsequent comments whose order of posting is later than that of the displayed portion of the comment group displayed in that area. Therefore, when the distributor responds to a displayed comment, the distributor can obtain information based on the number of hidden subsequent comments whose order of posting is later than that of this comment.

System, method, and program for distributing live video

A video distribution server according to one embodiment of the present invention promotes viewing of live video by a new viewer. The server provides a user with a live video distribution service for distributing and viewing live video via a user terminal communicably connected via a communication network. The server distributes live video provided by a specific distributor such that a viewer having a small value of a predetermined parameter corresponding to the specific distributor is prioritized, and thus a new viewer is prioritized over a regular viewer of the live video provided by the specific distributor. As a result, viewing of the live video by the new viewer is promoted.

A video distribution server according to an embodiment provides a live video distribution service for distributing and viewing live video to a user via a user terminal. This server determines the ranking of distributors on the basis of live video distribution performance, sets a base reward quantity for distributors on the basis of the determined ranking, and gives distributors rewards in a quantity based on the distribution duration of the live video and the base reward quantity, so even if a distributor is a novice, he can obtain a reward in a quantity based on the distribution duration and the base reward quantity by continuing to distribute live video.
