Abstract: A method and system for video communications between a terminal and a server. A first terminal establishes a communication connection with a server through a communication protocol. Local video data displayed in a video zone of the first terminal and other data displayed in a preset whiteboard zone of the first terminal are sent-to the server, to allow the server to send the local video data and the other data to one or more second terminals to be displayed. Complex content can be shown in one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many video communications applications to satisfy the demand and experience of video communications in the scenes of chats.
