An information processing apparatus includes a predictor configured to predict a throughput of a network, to generate a first predicted value indicative of the predicted throughput, an acquirer configured to acquire, from a server apparatus connected to the network, a second predicted value indicative of a throughput of the network predicted by the server apparatus, a selector configured to select a predicted value with higher prediction accuracy from among the first predicted value and the second predicted value X2, and a requester configured to request a distribution apparatus to transmit a video with a quality based on the predicted value selected by the selector 125.
