Abstract
A distribution controller () distributes a live video provided from a streamer to a plurality of terminals each of which has a comment area, the comment area allowing a predetermined number of comments to be displayed. A receiver () receives a comment posted from, among the plurality of terminals, a viewer terminal used by a viewer during distribution of the live video. A sender () sends a comment that the receiver () received to the plurality of terminals to cause the comment to be added to the comment areas in a last-in-first-out manner. An identifier () identifies, among respective comments currently being displayed in the comment area, a comment to which the streamer reacted. A setter () sets a chapter to divide the live video, based on a relative time in the live video corresponding to a time at which the identified comment is received.
