1. A communication terminal, comprising:

  • processing circuitry thatcauses a display to display, before transmitting video data to a destination of communication, a function selecting screen that contains a first icon for receiving a selection of a first communication function and a second icon for receiving a selection of a second communication function, the first communication function requiring communication using a first video codec for coding video, the second communication function requiring communication using a second video codec for coding the video, the second video codec being different from that of the first communication function,executes the first communication function when the processing circuitry receives a selection of the first icon, andexecutes the second communication function when the processing circuitry receives a selection of the second icon; and

    a transmitter that transmits the video data coded using the executed first communication function or the executed second communication function to the destination, wherein the processing circuitrycauses the display to display a destination selecting screen for receiving a selection of the destination of communication from among destination of communication candidates,receives, while the destination selection screen is displayed, a selection of an image displayed on the destination selection screen that causes display of the function selecting screen, andcauses the display to display the function selecting screen directly in response to the received selection of the image; and

    the transmitter transmits the video data coded using the first video codec when a communication initiating request is received from another communication terminal having only the first communication function, while the function selecting screen containing the first and second icons is displayed, but before the processing circuitry receives a selection of the first or second icons.
