A method, performed by a first terminal in a video call process between the first terminal and a second terminal, includes sending an image including a target device to a server, receiving device information corresponding to the target device sent by the server, virtualizing an operation interface based on the received device information, and displaying the operation interface on a current video call screen, where the operation interface is an operation interface of a control panel or a remote control of the target device, and displaying, on the current video call screen based on data from the second terminal, one or more operations performed on the operation interface by a user of the second terminal on the second terminal.

The present application discloses techniques of interacting with live videos. The techniques comprise obtaining a streaming video of a live streamer and images of a user captured in real time by a user terminal, and displaying the streaming video and the image of the user in a same video play box; obtaining and recognizing a first gesture of a user in the images of the user, and comparing the first gesture with a second gesture included in a preset table, wherein the preset table comprises information indicating corresponding relationships between gestures and special effects; obtaining a first special effect corresponding to the second gesture by querying the preset table when the first gesture matches with the second gesture; and displaying the first special effect in the video play box.
