mobile video

Handheld screen content

Mobile video is video content designed for or viewed on smartphones and tablets rather than televisions or desktop computers.

The term covers both the format—typically vertical or square, optimized for small screens—and the viewing context: She watches mobile video on her commute.

Social media platforms have driven the shift toward mobile-first video production.
