One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored therein instructions that cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• executing a game application as a first game application;
• participating in a session in which a first image of the game application and a second image of the game application are distributed, the second image having a higher quality than the first image;
• displaying at least one of the first image or the second image distributed by another information processing apparatus;
