A method for controlling display of a video call interface, comprising: determining a current layout mode of the video call interface; detecting a gesture operation acting on the video call interface; and in response to the gesture operation satisfying a preset switch condition corresponding to the current layout mode, controlling the video call interface to switch to another corresponding layout mode; wherein at least a first layout mode and a second layout mode exist in the video call interface; the first layout mode comprises a main window and at least one sub-window, wherein the at least one sub-window is nested in the main window; the second layout mode comprises at least two parallel windows, wherein each of the parallel windows displays a complete video picture of a calling party; characterized by, if the current layout mode is the first layout mode and there exist at least two sub-windows, after the detecting the gesture operation acting on the video call interface, the method further comprises: in response to a first preset gesture operation acting on a first sub-window, hiding other sub-windows beneath the first sub-window; in response to a second preset gesture operation acting on the first sub-window, switching video pictures between the first sub-window and a second sub-window hidden beneath the first sub-window; in response to a third preset gesture operation acting on the first sub-window, switching all sub-windows hidden beneath the first sub-window to a top layer of the video call interface for displaying. determining a current layout mode of the video call interface; detecting a gesture operation acting on the video call interface; and in response to the gesture operation satisfying a preset switch condition corresponding to the current layout mode, controlling the video call interface to switch to another corresponding layout mode; wherein at least a first layout mode and a second layout mode exist in the video call interface; the first layout mode comprises a main window and at least one sub-window, wherein the at least one sub-window is nested in the main window; the second layout mode comprises at least two parallel windows, wherein each of the parallel windows displays a complete video picture of a calling party; characterized by, if the current layout mode is the first layout mode and there exist at least two sub-windows, after the detecting the gesture operation acting on the video call interface, the method further comprises: in response to a first preset gesture operation acting on a first sub-window, hiding other sub-windows beneath the first sub-window; in response to a second preset gesture operation acting on the first sub-window, switching video pictures between the first sub-window and a second sub-window hidden beneath the first sub-window; in response to a third preset gesture operation acting on the first sub-window, switching all sub-windows hidden beneath the first sub-window to a top layer of the video call interface for displaying. in response to a first preset gesture operation acting on a first sub-window, hiding other sub-windows beneath the first sub-window; in response to a second preset gesture operation acting on the first sub-window, switching video pictures between the first sub-window and a second sub-window hidden beneath the first sub-window; in response to a third preset gesture operation acting on the first sub-window, switching all sub-windows hidden beneath the first sub-window to a top layer of the video call interface for displaying.
