A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data in a communication system are disclosed and relate to 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system that will be provided to support a higher data transmission rate after the 4G communication system, such as long term evolution (LTE). A method for transmitting data by a transmitting device in a wireless communication system that supports device-to-device (D2D) communication, may include separating, from a piece of video container data, video data and video-related data that is output together with the video data, outputting the video data, and transmitting the video-related data to a receiving device.
