Context: an article which lists the most popular kinds of videos on YouTube.
Sentence: (as bullet point) - "les « vidéo buzz » : brèves, liées à des sujets d’actualité;"
I don't know whether there's a real difference between "vidéo buzz" and "vidéo virale". I'm tempted to translate as "viral video" since it's such a well-known term - but is it the same? Otherwise, something like "buzz-producing video" seems awkward.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your input!

video buzz
This is a tough one as English that's been hijacked in another language doesn't necessarily mean the same thing. To me, viral video is any video that has caught the attention of tons of people and is not necessarily related to the "news of the day", which this definition is implying. I would stick with straight up "video buzz"as that would fit the bill better - especially since it gets defined later.

: "buzz" in the French is the adjective. "Video buzz" in English is not the same thing. Please see my suggestion and explanation.

Based on the description.
"Buzz" is used a lot in French, but in English it's predominantly a marketing term.

Discussion
I would think, taking into account the French context, of "web scoops".
