Abstract

Disclosed are video playback and data providing methods in a virtual scene, and a client and server implementing the same. The video playback method comprises: receiving current video segment data sent from a server, wherein the current video segment data represents a video segment, and the current video segment data comprises at least one specified viewing angle and a data identifier representing video segment data to which the specified viewing angle is directed; playing the video segment represented by the current video segment data, and acquiring a current viewing angle of a user during playback; and determining a target specified viewing angle matching the current viewing angle from the at least one specified viewing angle, wherein a video segment represented by video segment data to which the target specified viewing angle is directed is played at the end of the playback of the video segment represented by the current video segment data. The technical solution provided in the disclosure enables a user to move in a virtual scene while avoiding the use of external devices.
