The mental health of college students is a matter of significant concern in major universities. In the era of rapid internet development, college students encounter much positive and negative information through online videos daily. Studies indicate that this information significantly influences their mental health. Currently, video intervention in people's mental health is receiving attention from experts and scholars in the fields of multimedia and psychology. The article conducts a bibliometric analysis of all publications on video intervention and mental health for college students in the Scopus database from 1990 to 2024. The current research status on video intervention and mental health for college students is discussed in detail. Bibliometric analysis during the study period unveils annual scientific publications, average citations, locally cited literature, most relevant sources, corresponding author country, national scientific production, and national collaboration world map, among other factors. The qualitative analysis section of this article offers a detailed description of the themes and methods employed in the most cited articles.
