    Abstract: A live broadcast interactive method is performed by a computer device. The method includes: displaying a live broadcast picture, the live broadcast picture including a live broadcast interactive role, the live broadcast picture being a live broadcast picture acquired when an anchor account conducts a virtual activity on a first virtual role in a virtual world; and displaying the live broadcast interactive role performing a first interactive action in response to the virtual activity of the first virtual role in the virtual world meeting a trigger condition. In this application, by adding the live broadcast interactive role and connecting the live broadcast interactive role with the first virtual role in the virtual world, interactive modes between the anchor user and the audience user in the process of webcasting are enriched, thus improving interactive efficiency in the process of webcasting.
