viral videos

Clips everyone shares

Viral videos are video clips that spread rapidly across the internet through social sharing, accumulating millions of views in days or hours.

The term borrows from biological viruses—content that replicates as people pass it along.

A video might go viral because it's funny, shocking, heartwarming, or captures a cultural moment: That cat video went viral overnight.
