Abstract

A method of sharing a function between terminals is disclosed. A method of sharing a screen in real-time during a chat between terminals may include: transmitting, by a first terminal, a message requesting a real-time screen sharing and chatting while performing a chat with a second terminal; displaying, by the first terminal, an output message indicating start of the real-time screen sharing and chatting when the second terminal is available for the real-time screen sharing and chatting, and when a response message accepting the request for the real-time screen sharing and chatting is received from the second terminal; and sharing, by the first terminal, an image displayed on a screen of the first terminal with the second terminal in real-time, and translucently displaying a chat window that overlaps the shared image and thereby displays a chat content.
