viral clip

Contagious online footage

A viral clip is a short video segment that spreads rapidly across the internet through social media sharing.

The clip might be funny, shocking, heartwarming, or newsworthy—whatever quality makes people want to pass it along: That viral clip of the cat falling off the counter has fifty million views.

The viral part comes from how such content spreads person to person, like a virus.
