A transmission method in communication of a video phone call, including: utilizing a user input indication message to include a text message during the transmission of the video phone call and displaying text contents of the text message on a calling interface of a terminal; realizing transmission of the user input indication message that included the text message during communication of the video phone call; wherein, the step of utilizing the user input indication message to include the text message includes: adding a message header to the text message; and sending the text message to other party of the video phone call through the user input indication message; wherein the message header is used for marking the text message containing text contents that is included in the user input indication message; performing handshake negotiation with the terminal of the other party of the video phone call; if the negotiation result is that the terminal of the other party of the video phone call does not support parsing the message header, then the user terminal will send the text contents of the text message via a short message to the terminal of other party of the video phone call so that the other party of the video phone call can access his/her terminal's short message module to read the text contents.
