reaction video
Filmed viewing response
A reaction video is online content showing someone watching and responding to other media—music videos, movie trailers, viral clips, or similar content.
The appeal lies in witnessing genuine emotional responses: surprise, laughter, disgust, or being moved to tears.
I watched a reaction video of people hearing Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time.
The format has become a YouTube staple, though copyright issues arise when the original content dominates the reaction.
