The present disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, for example, a method and an apparatus for creating a live room, an electronic device, and a storage medium.
With the development of Internet technology and terminal technology, watching live videos of live streamers in live rooms has become part of people's daily lives. In the related art, a live application client may be installed in a terminal (for example, a mobile phone), a live streamer user may create a live room through this type of application client, and a viewer user may watch a live room of a specific live streamer through this type of application client.
Each time the live streamer user creates a live room through this type of application client, regardless of the content of a live stream, the live streamer user needs to actively input some necessary data such as the name of the live room, the cover image of the live room, the start time of the live stream, and a horizontal screen or a vertical screen. Then, the preceding necessary data is sent to a server by the application client. Based on the preceding necessary data, the server generates the live room and an identifier corresponding to the live room and displays the identifier on the application client. The live streamer user enters a live environment through this identifier, and the viewer user enters the live room of the live streamer according to this identifier to watch the live stream.
Thus, it can be seen that the process is relatively cumbersome where the live streamer user creates the live room, which increases the difficulty for the live streamer user to perform a video live stream and has the problem of certain traffic consumption.
The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for creating a live room, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which simplifies an operation process where a user creates the live room and improves efficiency in the creation of the live room.

The preset creation identifier may be an interaction icon or an interaction button displayed at a first associated position in a display region for a historical live room, for example, a “copy” interaction button, a “recreate” interaction button, or the like. The historical live room is a historically created live room. The interaction icon is displayed at the first associated position in the display region for the historically created live room such that when a live streamer user wants to recreate the same live room, the live streamer user may trigger the interaction icon to implement one-click creation, which greatly simplifies an operation process where the live streamer user creates the live room and improves efficiency in the creation of the live room.
Reference may be made to
In step 120, live information associated with the preset creation identifier is acquired according to the trigger instruction.
The live information includes at least one of: the name of the live room, the uniform resource locator (URL) of the cover image of the live room, a horizontal screen/a vertical screen, a live definition, and a live manner. When the trigger instruction is received, the live information associated with the preset creation identifier is acquired, where the live information is information acquired when the historical live room associated with the preset creation identifier is created for the first time. Using
The step in which the live information associated with the preset creation identifier is acquired according to the trigger instruction includes the step described below.
Cached live information of the historical live room is acquired.
When a display identifier of the historical live room is displayed, the client acquires the live information of the historical live room from a server and caches the live information of the historical live room.
In step 130, the live information is sent to the server such that the server creates a target live room based on the live information.
After receiving the live information, the server creates the target live room based on the live information, generates a display identifier of the target live room, and displays the display identifier of the target live room on the client. When it is time for a live stream, the live streamer user clicks the display identifier of the target live room to enter a live environment and perform the live stream, and a viewer user clicks the display identifier of the target live room to enter the live room and can watch the content of the live stream performed by the live streamer. The display identifier is typically the cover of the live room, where the cover includes some information introducing the content of the live stream such as the time of the live stream, a topic of the live stream, the avatar of the live streamer, and personal information of the live streamer so that it is convenient for the viewer user to learn about this target live room in time, rapidly find a live room in which the viewer user is interested, and watch the content of the live stream.
The live information includes the uniform resource locator (URL) of the cover image of the live room rather than the cover image of the live room. The uniform resource locator (URL) has a much smaller amount of data than the image. Therefore, the uniform resource locator (URL) of the cover image of the live room can be uploaded with a higher speed than the cover image of the live room and certain upload traffic can be saved, thereby improving the efficiency in the creation of the live room.
According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset creation identifier is displayed at the first associated position in the display region for the historical live room such that when the live streamer user wants to create the same live room as the historical live room, the live streamer user may trigger the preset creation identifier to implement the one-click creation, which greatly simplifies the operation process where the live streamer user creates the live room and improves the efficiency in the creation of the live room. When the trigger instruction of the preset creation identifier is received, the live information associated with the preset creation identifier is automatically acquired according to the trigger instruction, and the live streamer user is not required to input the live information manually, thereby achieving the object of simplifying the operation process where the user creates the live room. The live information uploaded to the server includes the uniform resource locator (URL) of the cover image of the live room rather than the cover image of the live room, thereby achieving the object of saving the certain upload traffic, improving the upload speed, and improving the efficiency in the creation of the live room.
As shown in
In step 310, a trigger instruction of a preset creation identifier is received.
In step 320, live information associated with the preset creation identifier is acquired according to the trigger instruction.
In step 330, the live information is sent to the server such that the server creates a target live room based on the live information.
In step 340, when the notification is received that live information returned by the server is successfully received, a live room list page is updated, where the live room list page before the update includes a display identifier of at least one historical live room and a preset creation identifier of the at least one historical live room, and the updated live room list page also includes a display identifier of the target live room and a preset creation identifier associated with the target live room.
Reference may be made to
The step in which the live room list page is updated includes the step described below.
The display identifier of the target live room is added to a blank position of the live room list page.
Alternatively, the display identifier of the target live room is added to a second associated position in a display region for the historical live room. The display identifier of the target live room and the display identifier of the historical live room include the same content, for example, the same cover of the live room or the same name of the live room.
Referring to
The step in which the live room list page is updated further includes the step in which the preset creation identifier associated with the target live room is displayed at the second associated position of the display identifier of the target live room. It can be seen from
After the live room list page is updated, the method further includes the step described below.
When a trigger instruction of the display identifier of the target live room is received, a live interface is displayed.
Referring to
According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the preceding embodiment, after the live information is sent to the server, the step is added in which the live room list page of the client is updated, so as to achieve the object of displaying the newly created target live room. Thus, it is convenient for the user to notice the newly created target live room in time. The display identifier of the target live room may be added to the blank position of the live room, or the display identifier of the target live room may be added to the second associated position of the display region for the historical live room such that the target live room is explicitly identified as the copy of the historical live room. Thus, it is convenient for the live streamer user to manage live rooms of the live streamer user, and it is convenient for a viewer user to rapidly find a live room in which the viewer user is interested.
