1. A transmission terminal comprising:
processing circuitry to:
control display of images with respect to corresponding bases which are participating in a video conference, the images being transmitted from the corresponding bases, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to, when a number of the corresponding bases which are participating in the video conference>an upper limit of a number of the images that are capable of being displayed:
control the display of the images up to the upper limit of the number of the images of bases among the corresponding bases of all participants in the video conference, the bases whose images displayed including a base transmitting sound data expressing a voice; and
wherein the video conference is capable of accommodating more participants than the upper limit of the number of the images.
 
4. A method implemented on a transmission terminal, the method comprising:
controlling, by processing circuitry of the transmission terminal, display of images with respect to corresponding bases which are participating in a video conference, the images being transmitted from the corresponding bases, and when a number of the corresponding bases which are participating in the video conference>an upper limit of a number of the images that are capable of being displayed;
controlling, by the processing circuitry of the transmission terminal, the display of the images up to the upper limit of the number of the images of bases among the corresponding bases of all participants in the video conference, the bases whose images displayed including a base transmitting sound data expressing a voice, wherein the video conference is capable of accommodating more participants than the upper limit of the number of the images.
