vlogging

1. 1
   noununcountable

   The keeping of a video weblog: recording and posting personal videos online for an audience.

   Like a written blog, except the entries are filmed instead of typed.

   Vlogging requires consistent uploads and a strong sense of personal style.

   Her success in travel vlogging came from years of daily uploads.

   Note

   Internet vocabulary for the practice rather than the product: a vlog is the video weblog itself, and vlogging is the ongoing work of keeping one. As a mass noun it takes no plural and no article. You take up vlogging, not a vlogging, and a field can sit in front of it, as in travel vlogging. Where the verb form takes an object (vlogging every meal), this noun takes modifiers instead.

2. 2
   verb

   Present participle and gerund of vlog.

   He spent the whole trip vlogging every meal and landmark.

   Fans love watching her vlogging about backstage moments.

   Note

   The -ing form works in both of the ways the verb does. Used intransitively, it stands alone or takes about (she was vlogging about backstage life). Used transitively, it takes the thing posted as its object (vlogging every meal). Because the verb ends in a single consonant after a short vowel, the final g doubles before -ing, so the spelling is always vlogging, never vloging.
