Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and an apparatus for transmitting media stream data in a cloud computing system. The method includes: sending, by a TC, media stream transmission information of the TC to a corresponding VM, so that the VM sends the media stream transmission information of the TC to a media gateway; receiving, by the TC, media stream transmission information of the media gateway from the VM; and establishing, by the TC, a session between the TC and the media gateway according to the media stream transmission information of the TC and the media stream transmission information of the media gateway, and transmitting media stream data by using the established session. The embodiments of the present invention reduce the transmission delay. In addition, because media stream data does not pass through the VM, the VM does not need to encode or decode media stream data, and therefore the CPU occupation rate of the VM will not be high. As a result, the quantity of VMs that can run on a corresponding physical server can be further increased so as to improve the resource utilization rate of the physical server.
