What Does POV Mean?
POV stands for “Point of View,” and it refers to videos filmed from the creator’s perspective. In social media videos, POV means something a little different.
Generally, POV means a video filmed from the videomaker’s perspective. It is a first-person perspective. So, you get to see what the videomaker sees. Their hands, legs, etc.
In social media, POV means videos, TikToks, or Instagram Reels that creators use to make the viewer feel something.
Example: “POV: You just quit your $350k to make money online”
It invokes certain emotions in the viewers
This is an example of a POV video

Why Create POV Videos?
If you’ve noticed, many POV videos don’t require you to talk. You just have to act. So it’s easier to create POV video. You just record yourself doing something, then put a caption relating to what you’re doing, starting with “POV:”
Examples:
- “POV: You’re the only one at the office because…”
- “POV: You’re first day at high school”
- “POV: Me pretending to take notes when the boss is looking at me in the meeting.”
