video feed

Real-time visual transmission

A video feed is a continuous stream of video transmitted from a source to a display or recording device.

Security cameras provide video feeds to monitoring stations.

News broadcasts cut between studio and live feeds from the field.

The term implies real-time or near-real-time transmission: The video feed from the drone showed the extent of the flooding.

In streaming contexts, feed emphasizes the ongoing flow rather than a discrete recording.
