Abstract: A communication management system relays communication between a first communication terminal that transmits data of a spherical image and a plurality of second communication terminals. The communication management system includes a memory and circuitry. The memory stores session identification information in association with addresses of communication terminals participating in the video communication session. The circuitry receives, from the first communication terminal, particular session identification information identifying a particular video communication session, and a display control parameter for limiting a display area of the spherical image to be displayed by each of the plurality of second communication terminals in the particular video communication session to a part of an entire area of the spherical image.

Abstract: A communication terminal includes circuitry. The circuitry receives data of a whole image, data of a material image, and superimposition position information indicating a position where the material image is to be superimposed on the whole image, the data of the whole image, the data of the material image, and the superimposition position information being transmitted from another communication terminal. The circuitry superimposes the material image on the whole image at the position indicated by the superimposition position information. The circuitry causes a display to display a predetermined-area image, which is an image of a predetermined area of the whole image. When at least a part of the material image being superimposed is not displayed in the predetermined-area image, the circuitry changes the position where the material image is superimposed such that the material image is displayed at a predetermined position in the predetermined-area image.
