video loop

Endless playback segment

A video loop is a clip that plays continuously, restarting seamlessly when it reaches the end.

The format dominates social media platforms and digital signage where content cycles without user intervention: The lobby TV runs a video loop of company highlights.

Short video loops—often just a few seconds—became the signature format of platforms like Vine and later TikTok backgrounds.
