Abstract: An analysis apparatus acquires individual emotion data for each participant generated on the basis of face image data of the participants in an online meeting during the meeting. The analysis apparatus generates, for each participant, analysis data indicating a degree of emotion in the online meeting on the basis of the individual emotion data. The analysis apparatus stores each piece of the analysis data for each participant in association with corresponding color tone information. The analysis apparatus generates, as a display image indicating a state of the online meeting, an image in which element figures represented by the color tone information associated with the analysis data are disposed for each of a plurality of the participants who have participated in the online meeting. The analysis apparatus outputs the generated display image.
