A multipoint connection apparatus (200) includes a video/audio-signal receiving unit (201) that receives video/audio signals from video/audio terminals (100); a volume-level calculating unit (205) that calculates volume levels from the video/audio signals; a volume-display-image generating unit (207) that generates volume display images indicating volume from the volume levels; a layout-setting-information receiving unit (209) that receives layout setting information indicating information about arrangement of videos to be displayed on the video/audio terminal (100); a combined-video/audio-signal generating unit (211) that generates a combined video/audio signal by combining the video/audio signals and the volume display images based on the layout setting information; and a transmitting unit (215) that transmits the video/audio signal to the video/audio terminal (100). |
