1. An information processing device to streaming-distribute a video, based on a distance image in which a streamer is captured, comprising one or more processors,
wherein the processor executes processing of:
acquiring a depth distribution in the distance image;
determining a threshold value, based on the acquired depth distribution;
specifying, in the distance image, a distant region where depth is greater than the threshold value and a near region where depth is less than the threshold value; and
providing, in conjunction with the video, to a viewer terminal to which the video is to be streaming-distributed, control information to set the distant region as a background, set the near region as a foreground, superimpose provided information over the background, and superimpose the foreground over the background over which the provided information is superimposed.
