What Is User-Generated Video?
User-generated video is video made by customers or an audience rather than by a brand, such as reviews, demos, or testimonials.
User-Generated Video
User-generated video comes from the people who use a product, not the company behind it. Because it is made by real users, it often reads as more honest than polished marketing.
It matters where trust is hard to earn, since a viewer may believe a peer over a brand.
For example, a customer records a short video of how they use a product and shares it publicly.
How Does User-Generated Video Work?
- Invite – Ask users to record their experience.
- Make Easy – Give them a simple way to record and send.
- Collect – Gather the videos they share.

Why Is User-Generated Video Important?
