family videos

Domestic footage archives

Family videos are informal recordings of domestic life—birthdays, holidays, vacations, children's milestones.

The term evokes a particular era of handheld camcorders and VHS tapes, though it now includes smartphone footage.

Family videos carry nostalgic weight as documentation of ordinary moments: We spent the afternoon digitizing old family videos.

The phrase sometimes appears euphemistically for amateur pornography featuring couples.
