The embodiment of the invention provides a video communication method and device. The method is applied to video of things. The video of things comprises a co-forwarding server. The method comprises the following steps: the co-forwarding server receives a first video communication request for a video-of-things terminal, which is sent via an internet terminal; the first video communication requestis a request generated based on an internet protocol; the first video communication request is converted into a second video communication request based on a preset video-of-things protocol, and the second video communication request is sent to the video-of-things terminal; when receiving a response of the video-of-things terminal to the second video communication request, negotiation is carried out between the internet terminal and the video-of-things terminal; based on the negotiation result, a video communication between the internet terminal and the video-of-things terminal is established.Through the embodiment of the invention, the video communication between the internet terminal and the video-of-things terminal is realized, thereby ensuring the quality of video communication.
