Other forms: vlogs; vlogging; vlogged

A vlog is an online video journal or website. Your friend might be filming you singing karaoke just for fun — or she might be planning to post it on her vlog!

Vlog is a distinctly 21st-century word, coined from a combination of video and blog, a shortened version of weblog. These days, some vlogs are found on personal websites, but most are videos posted on a social media platform or YouTube. If you want to start a vlog, you could make short videos of your cooking adventures or interactions with your cat, edit them, and post them online for your followers to see.
