There is a practice in some TV shows and especially in commercials that shows the view of someone using a video camera. This usually includes a rectangular "frame" in the scene and the "REC" indicator with a red dot in the bottom right corner of the screen. Or, depending on the camera, any of the other three corners.
This is not the same as captured video, which includes the date and time stamp, but rather implies that we are seeing the video display on the camera from the viewpoint of the person recording it.

Near the beginning of the 2018 Australian film Occupation has a young lady stepping out of her family RV to do some vlogging, taking time while her family is stopped at a gas station/convenience store. The camera view is apparently intended to be universal, as opposed to being directed to users of English. The recording indicators are a timer display in top center, and a recording indicator of a red square surrounded by a white circle.

An episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun had Mary filming an anthropological documentary about the Solomons. Most of the episode is seen from the camera's point of view, with Mary giving them some direction and interviewing them from off camera.

In Turning Red, the panda hustle scene starts with Mei recording on a camcorder and the view switches to the POV of the viewfinder which has a red dot and "REC" in the upper left corner, a battery indicator icon on the upper right corner, the date in the bottom right corner and framelines in all four corners.

Used to interesting effect in a two-part episode of Arthur, in which Arthur and his best friend Buster visit New York City. Much of the episode is animated as usual, but whenever New York is shown through Buster's camcorder, the show becomes live action.

Haruhi Suzumiya's anime adaptation has this for the entirety of The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru, the SOS Brigade's film project. Since the movie is meant to look deliberately amateurish, the video quality is often blurry and the camera sometimes has a hard time focusing.

Used on Good Eats in the episode "Behind the Bird," which dealt with post-Thanksgiving leftovers. The camera was used in this fashion, in a Shout-Out to The Blair Witch Project, as the crew was stuck at Alton's house with only the aforementioned leftovers, awaiting rescue during a snow storm. (Since they were in Georgia, this meant an inch of snow.)

The Anime Adaptation of 86 -Eighty-Six- used this trope twice, via the recordings of Spearhead Squadron's Team Pet Fido: first had snippets of the remaining members of the squadron before their Suicide Mission; while the second had those same members (plus a few others) prior to their much-awaited meeting with their former handler Lena.

Babylon 5: From time to time, the perspective would switch to one of the station's security cameras or exterior maintenance bots. Typically there would be an indicator identifying which camera they were viewing.
The episode The Deconstruction of Falling Stars is noteworthy for featuring this trope in a post-apocalyptic monastary, using hidden cameras.
