DIY videos
Self-teaching project guides
DIY videos are instructional recordings showing how to make, repair, or accomplish something yourself rather than hiring a professional.
The format dominates home improvement, crafts, and tech troubleshooting content online: I learned to tile my bathroom from DIY videos.
The term sometimes extends to amateur productions generally, emphasizing their homemade quality over professional polish.
