Disclosed are a method for implementing telepresence technology and a telepresence device. The method comprises: a first telepresence device establishes a communication connection with a second telepresence device, wherein the first telepresence device performs a first capability negotiation with the second telepresence device during the communication connection establishment; the first telepresence device performs a TIP capability negotiation with the second telepresence device; the first telepresence device and the second telepresence device determine, according a result of the first capability negotiation and a result of the TIP capability negotiation, an audio and video coding/decoding mode used in the following communication; and the first telepresence device communicates with the second telepresence device according to the determined audio and video coding/decoding mode. The disclosure solves a technical problem in the prior art that new audio and video coding/decoding modes cannot be used because content of a TIP protocol is not updated in time.
