wherein in response to the gift panel display operation for the target object, displaying the gift panel comprises:

in response to a trigger operation for the permission prompt information, displaying the gift panel.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the recipient user comprises a user corresponding to a user identifier in a selected state in the gift panel, and wherein displaying the gift panel comprises:

displaying the gift panel, and displaying each user identifier, which is in the gift panel, to be in an unselected state; or

displaying the gift panel, and displaying at least one user identifier, which is in the gift panel, to be in the selected state.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the recipient user comprises a user corresponding to a user identifier in a selected state in a first user list, and the method further comprises:

in response to a first list display operation acting in the gift panel, displaying the first user list, wherein the first user list comprises at least one of an association user list or a recommended user list, the association user list is configured to display a user identifier of an association user of the gifting user, and the recommended user list is configured to display a user identifier of a recommended user in the target live-stream room.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the recipient user comprises a user corresponding to a user identifier in a selected state in a second user list, and the method further comprises:

in response to a second list display operation acting in the gift panel, displaying the second user list, wherein the second user list is configured to display a to-be-selected user identifier; and

in response to a selection completion operation acting in the second user list, adding a user identifier in the selected state in the second user list to the gift panel, and displaying the added user identifier in the gift panel.
