A video distribution server according to one embodiment of the present invention encourages communication among viewers of a live video, while strengthening the relationship between a distributor of the live video and each of the viewers. The server provides a live video distribution service for distributing and viewing live videos to users via user terminals. The server generates a combo when an input of an item by each of a plurality of viewers of the live video satisfies a predetermined combo condition, thus encouraging communication among the viewers of the live video. In addition, the benefit is given to the distributor upon the generation of the combo, which may strengthen the relationship between the distributor and each of the viewers.

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