Reaction video

A reaction video, or a react video, is a video in which a person or multiple people react to something. Videos showing the emotional reactions or criticism and commentary of people viewing television series episodes, film trailers, music videos, news, or other media are numerous and popular on video hosting services such as YouTube and live-streaming services such as Twitch. The depicted persons may or may not be aware that they are being recorded. In some cases, the video to which people react is shown within the reaction video, allowing the reaction video's viewers to see what is being reacted to. The question of if and when reaction videos constitute a fair use of intellectual property, rather than an appropriation of the reacted-to content, has generated controversy.
