摘要

A method, video terminal and system for enabling multi-party video calling are provided. The method includes: establishing image display windows corresponding to at least one other video terminal by a local video terminal at the image layer; receiving picture data from said other video terminal through the network, wherein the picture data is generated by extracting data frame by said other video terminal from its video stream at a predefined frequency; decoding the picture data and displaying the decoded picture in the image display window corresponding to said other video terminal at the image layer; obtaining the local video stream in real time; decoding the local video stream and displaying the decoded video in the video layer of the local video terminal. Application of the present invention can enable multi-party video calling, and improve video communication quality without increasing the bandwidth.
