in response to a scrolling operation on the conference interface, scrolling the online document displayed on the conference interface within the first scrolling container; and

in response to a scrolling operation on the first area, scrolling the first comment(s) or the at least one second comment displayed in the first area within the second scrolling container.

7 . The comment display method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to detecting that any of the first comment(s) is cleared, adding a clearing label to the cleared first comment.

8 . The comment display method according to claim 7 , wherein the displaying the first comments in the first area of the online document comprises:

in the first area of the online document, displaying respectively in full the first comment(s) to which the clearing label is added and the first comment(s) to which the clearing label is not added in different display styles.

9 . The comment display method according to claim 7 , wherein the displaying the at least one second comment in the first area of the online document comprises:
