      A YouTube or streamer that uses face scanning to animate an avatar that is on screen (instead of showing their face with a camera)

        Face scanning rather than tanning I assume.

        I’ve seen the phrase around, I always assumed it was just short for “video log on youtube” or something. I’m too naive for this world.

      Streamers, except instead of showing their own face they use motion capture software to animate a cartoon character. The V stands for Virtual.
