Abstract
A method for switching shared content in a video conference includes determining a status of the video conference when a switch event is triggered. If the status is a video status, sharable content of the sharing terminal are detected, and whether the sharing terminal has at least one sharable content is determined. If so, one of at least one sharable content is shared with at least one remote terminal. If not, the status keeps being in the video status. If the status is a sharing status and the sharing terminal shares a content having a first index number, sharable content of the sharing terminal are detected, and whether the sharing terminal has a first sharable content having an index number larger than the first index number is determined. If so, sharing the first sharable content with at least one remote terminal by the sharing terminal.
