vlogging

Recording personal updates

Vlogging is creating video blogs—regular video content documenting one's life, interests, or expertise, typically posted to platforms like YouTube.

The term blends "video" and "blogging." A vlogger might share daily routines, travel experiences, product reviews, or commentary: She's been vlogging about her renovation project.

The format emphasizes personality and direct address to viewers.
