1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a communication circuit;
a memory configured to store a video; and
at least one processor configured to:
display first content of the video on the display;
based on a determination that a sharing function is selected by a user, perform the sharing function by:
establishing, via the communication circuit, a wireless connection between the electronic device and an external device,
ceasing display of the video on the display,
displaying, on the display, a control video for controlling playback of second content of the video on a display of the external device, wherein, without displaying the video content, the control video is configured to display a control user interface for controlling playback or pausing of the video content, a name of the video content, and an icon for controlling the sharing function on the display of the electronic device, the second content being a continuation of the first content of the video, wherein the icon is displayed on an upper layer over the control user interface, and the icon is movable within the display based on a touch input, and
transmitting, via the wireless connection, the second content of the video to the external device without transmitting data associated with the icon such that the second content without the icon is displayed on the external device while the control video, without displaying the second content, is displayed on the display of the electronic device; and
based on a first user interaction involving the icon, control the sharing function by:
ceasing transmission of the second content to the external device,
periodically transmitting at a preset interval, via the wireless connection, an image indicating a transmission status to the external device for display on the display of the external device in order to maintain the wireless connection, wherein the wireless connection is released at a time in case of periodic transmissions of the image, from the electronic device to the external device, ceasing for a preset period of time; and
displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the control video while displaying third content of the video with the icon, the third content being a continuation of the second content, wherein the icon is displayed on the upper layer over the third content of the video, and the icon is movable within the display based on the touch input.
