video
Recorded moving images
Video is moving visual images, whether recorded, transmitted, or displayed electronically.
The word distinguishes visual content from audio: The video was clear but the sound kept cutting out.
Video works as noun, adjective, and verb—you can watch a video, adjust video settings, or video a friend's wedding.
In casual use, video often means a short clip shared online: Did you see that video of the cat?
