A method and apparatus are provided. The method includes obtaining a panoramic video formed by plural panoramic picture frames, each being formed to record a scenery of a viewing angle. The panoramic video is divided into N viewing angle video sequences, each sequence being formed by areas that are in the panoramic picture frames, that do not overlap with each other, and that have a same horizontal viewing angle. The sum of the viewing angles of the N video sequences is a total horizontal viewing angle of the panoramic picture frame, N being a positive integer. The N video sequences are respectively encoded to obtain N respective groups of encoded data, and a viewing angle is determined. A viewing angle video sequence whose viewing angle comprises the determined viewing angle is selected, and encoded data of the selected viewing angle video sequence is transmitted.
