Streaming apparatus, streaming method, and storage medium

A streaming method performed by a computer installed in a streaming apparatus including a communication unit and a storage unit configured to store, in association with each other, user identification information for identifying a user and device information for identifying a display device used by the user, the streaming method comprising:

• generating a streaming image based on a captured image received from a streamer terminal;
• receiving a streaming request;
• acquiring user identification information included in the streaming request and device information;
• when a plurality of pieces of the device information are associated with the acquired user identification information, determining whether the plurality of pieces of device information include device information of a first display device being a head-mounted device and a second display device not being the head-mounted device;
• and
• selecting a second display mode from among a first display mode being a display mode of the first display device and the second display mode being a display mode of the second display device, and streaming the streaming image corresponding to the streaming request to the first display device or the second display device corresponding to the acquired device information so that the display mode corresponds to the selected second display mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a processor installed in a streaming apparatus including a communication unit and a storage unit configured to store, in association with each other, user identification information for identifying a user and device information for identifying a display device used by the user, to execute:

• processing of generating a streaming image based on a captured image received from a streamer terminal;
• processing of receiving a streaming request;
• processing of acquiring user identification information included in the streaming request and device information;
• when a plurality of pieces of the device information are associated with the acquired user identification information, processing of determining whether the plurality of pieces of device information include device information of a first display device being a head-mounted device and a second display device not being the head-mounted device;
• and
• processing of selecting a second display mode from among a first display mode being a display mode of the first display device and the second display mode being a display mode of the second display device, and streaming the streaming image corresponding to the streaming request to the first display device or the second display device corresponding to the acquired device information so that the display mode corresponds to the selected second display mode.
