The invention discloses a bullet screen display method and system in live video, the method comprises the steps: bullet screen display quantity displayed on each page can be determined according to horizontal screen height of mobile equipment display screen and preset bullet screen frame height, initial position of the bullet screen frame is set, all IDs of the bullet screen frame form a bullet screen frame ID array, a timer is initialized and turned on, if multiple bullet screen data from the server terminal exists in a bullet screen pool is judged, if yes, if available bullet screen frame exists on all pages is judged, if yes, an available bullet screen frame is extracted from the pages randomly, the earliest reach bullet screen data in the bullet screen pool is filled in the bullet screen frame, the bullet screen frame is made to horizontally move in a constant speed from right to left, the ID of the bullet screen frame is removed from the bullet screen frame ID array, and the next bullet screen data in the bullet screen pool is put on. The method and system can solves a technology problems of internal storage growth, system performance reduction and dull bullet screen displaying which are caused by keeping receiving bullet screens in live video process.
