Embodiments disclose a method for beam training in a multiuser scenario and an apparatus. The method is applied to beam training performed on multiple responders by an initiator and includes: sending, by the initiator, status information of transmit antennas of the initiator to a first responder of the multiple responders, so that the first responder selects a to-be-used transmit antenna from the transmit antennas according to the status information, where the status information is used to indicate whether the transmit antennas of the initiator are selected; and receiving, by the initiator, feedback information sent by the first responder, and determining, according to the feedback information, the to-be-used transmit antenna selected by the first responder.
