Recorded visual media
Videos are recordings of moving images, typically with sound.
The word emerged with videotape technology and now covers any recorded visual content—from home movies to professional productions to short clips on social media: I've been watching videos all afternoon.
As a verb, to video is to record: She videoed the whole ceremony.
