8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying, according to a conference join request of other conference room, identifier information of an inviting party corresponding to the conference join request and a connection mode in the display screen of the target basic audio-video device,

wherein the connection mode is used to indicate that a user in the associated conference room organizes the video conference with a user in the other conference room through the connection mode.

9. An apparatus for controlling an audio-video conference, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions, the instructions when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

establishing, according to a conference preparation request of an inviting party, a communication connection between a target basic audio-video device of an associated conference room and the inviting party, and enabling the inviting party to select at least one invited party, the inviting party including a personal terminal;

constructing a conference join request according to an invited party included in a conference initiation request of the inviting party, and sending the conference join request to the invited party, the invited party including: other conference room and/or other personal terminal;
