Webcam for vlogging.

Alternatively known as a vodcast, vlog, or video blogging, vlogging is a blog where someone (vlogger) discusses their interests, what's on their mind, or something personal. Today, many of the blog services (mentioned on the blog definition) also support vlogs. YouTube is a popular vlogging service.

How is a vlog created?

A person creates a vlog using a laptop camera or a webcam that's connected to their computer. Once the video is created, it can be uploaded to a website like Facebook or YouTube to be seen by others. A vlog can also be created using the smartphone camera to record a video and uploaded the video through an app on the phone.

Tip

Most people don't have the patience to watch a long vlog, so long videos should be edited using video editing software to edit out the boring parts.
