==Original Abstract Submitted==

A scene control apparatus capable of suppressing changes in exposure settings of a camera that captures video with an image as the background is disclosed. The apparatus acquires information relating to luminance of a captured scene of an image capture apparatus and determines, based on the information, whether a brightness of at least one of lighting equipment configured to light up the captured scene and video that is displayed as a background of the captured scene needs to be changed. According to a result of the determination, the apparatus changes the brightness of at least one of the lighting equipment that lights up the captured scene and the video that is displayed as the background of the captured scene.
