a hardware processor;

a memory storing program instructions that cause the hardware processor to;

receive a mode switchover operation between the sharing display mode and the individual display mode by the operator and display the screen information of the meeting material synchronously or asynchronously, in accordance with the mode selected by the mode switchover operation; and

receive a screen recording operation by the operator and record the screen information of the meeting material as displayed for each of the sharing and individual modes, regardless of whether the screen information of the meeting material is being displayed in the sharing display mode or individual display mode on the display of the terminal apparatus, wherein

in a case where the hardware processor receives the mode switchover operation to switch from the sharing display mode to the individual mode after receiving the screen recording operation while operating in the sharing display mode, the hardware processor

continues to receive update information of the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously from a server,

stores the received update information of the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously at the terminal apparatus to update the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously, even as screen information of the meeting material is displayed asynchronously at the terminal apparatus, and

inserts chapter information at a time when the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously is updated; and

in a case where the screen recording operation for the screen information of the meeting materials to be displayed either synchronously or asynchronously is received by the operator in a meeting, in which at least one agenda is registered, the hardware processor

records the screen information of the meeting materials to be displayed either synchronously or asynchronously for every unit of an agenda from among the at least one registered agenda.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the hardware processor starts recording the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously when a screen recording operation by the operator is received while the screen information of the meeting material is being displayed synchronously or asynchronously.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the hardware processor generates the screen information of the meeting material to be recorded, based on the content and operation information, which is delivered to synchronously display the screen information of the meeting material with the at least one other terminal apparatus in the sharing mode.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the hardware processor records a moving image by recording the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously between a time when the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed in the sharing mode is updated and a subsequent update time.

5. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the hardware processor records the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed in the shared mode and the individual mode in a case where a screen recording operation is received from the operator, who can perform the screen recording operation, based on information indicative of the operator.

6. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the hardware processor displays the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed in the shared mode and the individual mode in a case where a display request to display the recorded screen information of the meeting material to be displayed in the shared mode and the individual mode is received from the operator, who can display the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed in the shared mode and the individual mode, based on information indicative of the operator.

7. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the hardware processor displays the recorded screen information of the meeting materials to be displayed asynchronously in a case where a display request to display the screen information of the meeting materials to be displayed asynchronously is received from the operator, who can display the screen information of the meeting materials to be displayed either synchronously or asynchronously, based on information indicative of the operator, who can display the first and second screens.

8. A screen recording method of recording a screen by a terminal apparatus that operates in a sharing display mode, in which screen information of a meeting material is synchronously displayed on a display of the terminal apparatus and a display of at least one other terminal apparatus, and an individual display mode, in which the screen information of the meeting material is asynchronously displayed on the display of the terminal apparatus and at least one other terminal apparatus, and that switches operation between the sharing display mode and the individual display mode upon a mode switchover operation by an operator, the screen recording method comprising:

receiving a mode switchover operation between the sharing display mode and the-individual display mode by the operator and displaying the screen information of the meeting material synchronously or asynchronously, in accordance with the mode selected by the mode switchover operation;

receiving a screen recording operation by the operator and recording the screen information of the meeting material as displayed for each of the sharing display mode or the individual display mode, regardless of whether the screen information of the meeting material is being displayed in the sharing display mode or the individual display mode on the display of the terminal apparatus, wherein

in a case where the hardware processor receives the mode switchover operation to switch from the sharing display mode to the individual display mode after receiving the screen recording operation while operating in the sharing display mode, the hardware processor

continues to receive update information of the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously from a server,

stores the received update information of the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously at the terminal apparatus to update the screen information of the meeting material to be displayed synchronously, even as screen information of the meeting material is displayed asynchronously at the terminal apparatus, and
