POV

What is POV?

POV, an abbreviation for “Point Of View,” is a widely used term across various online platforms. It signifies the perspective or viewpoint from which a story, video, image, or situation is presented. In the context of social media, POV videos or images often place the viewer directly into a scene, simulating a personal experience. For example, a POV video might show a first-person perspective of someone walking through a forest or engaging in a specific activity. The term can also be used more broadly to describe someone’s opinion or perspective on a particular topic; e.g., “My POV is that climate change is a serious threat.”
