A virtual-break-room providing system comprising: a detection device (12; 12A; 12B) including a detection unit configured to detect, based on a position of a user detected by a position detection sensor, whether the user enters a break area as a condition to connect to a virtual break room that enables the user to communicate with another user in the virtual break room, the virtual break room including a user room area and another user room area; and a terminal device (10; 10A; 10B; 10C) including a break-area setting unit configured to set the break area, the break area being for the user to have a break in real space, a virtual-break-room connection unit configured to connect to the virtual break room when the detection device (12; 12A; 12B) detects that the user has entered the break area satisfying the condition to connect to the virtual break room, a virtual-break-room-information acquisition unit configured to acquire information about the virtual break room from a server device, an output control unit configured to output the information about the virtual break room, and a break-area-information acquisition unit configured to, when the user is detected by the detection device (12; 12A; 12B) to be having a break in the break area, acquire break area information including information about whether a location of the break area where the user is having a break is a user's home or an outside location, wherein the virtual-break-room-information acquisition unit acquires, from the server device, information of the virtual break room including the user room area corresponding to a user's room when the location of the break area is the user's home, and information of the virtual break room including layout information on the outside location when the location of the break area is the outside location, and the output control unit causes a display unit to display the virtual break room including the user room area imitating the user's room when the location of the break area is the user's home, and to display the virtual break room based on the layout information when the location of the break area is the outside location. a detection device (12; 12A; 12B) including a detection unit configured to detect, based on a position of a user detected by a position detection sensor, whether the user enters a break area as a condition to connect to a virtual break room that enables the user to communicate with another user in the virtual break room, the virtual break room including a user room area and another user room area;
