1. A system, comprising:
one or more computer processors, wherein the one or more computer processors execute computer-readable instructions to:
distribute data for causing a plurality of viewer user devices to play a co-performing video, each of the viewer user devices being used by a corresponding one of a plurality of viewer users, the co-performing video including (i) a first character object generated based on one or more motions of a first user and (ii) a second character object generated based on one or more motions of a second user, the first user and the second user are different from the plurality of viewer users;
in response to receiving a first display request for a first gift from a first viewer user device of the plurality of viewer user devices, display a display instruction object on at least one of a first user device used by the first user or a second user device used by the second user, the first user device and the second user device are different from the plurality of viewer user devices; and
in response to an operation selecting the display instruction object, display the first gift in association with at least one of the first character object or the second character object in the co-performing video,
wherein the one or more computer processors execute the computer-readable instructions further to, in response to receiving a second display request for a second gift from a second viewer user device of the plurality of viewer user devices, display another display instruction object on at least one of the first user device or the second user device; and
wherein the second gift is not displayed in the co-performing video without operation selecting the other display instruction object.
