vlogs
Online video diaries
Vlogs are video blogs—regular online video content where someone talks directly to the camera about their life, opinions, or activities.
The format emphasizes personality and informal delivery over production quality.
Vloggers build audiences on platforms like YouTube by posting consistently: She vlogs about her daily routine, travel vlogs, beauty vlogs.
The verb vlog means to create such content.
