Abstract
A game image generation unit generates a game image, and a game audio generation unit generates a game audio. An audio acquiring unit acquires a microphone audio input to a microphone. A distribution processing unit distributes the microphone audio, the game audio, and the game image. An accepting unit accepts an operation made by a user. During distribution of the microphone audio, the game audio, and the game image, after the accepting unit accepts a predetermined operation, the distribution processing unit operates in either a first mode in which a first standby image is distributed and the microphone audio is distributed as well or a second mode in which a second standby image is distributed but the microphone audio is not distributed.
