Abstract

A method, a computer storage medium, and a client for switching scenes of a panoramic video are provided. The method includes playing a first primary video stream in a first video stream group associated with a first perspective of a user; determining a video stream switching time when a perspective of the user is switched from the first perspective to a second perspective, the video stream switching time being associated with a time length of a video slice in a second backup video stream; and switching from the first primary video stream to the second backup video stream when a play time of the first primary video stream reaches the video stream switching time, so that content of the second backup video stream starting from the video stream switching time is played. The present application can improve the effects of switching between scenes of the panoramic video.
