Yes. It will be considered a plagiarism.

Explanation:

Plagiarism is a word used for the "wrongful appropriation" and "purloining and printing" of different author's "writing, expressions, opinions or concepts" and the description of them as one's own unique production. It is regarded as the academic dishonesty and a violation of publishing ethics. Therefore, if one is using the video of another without proper citation it will be regarded as plagiarized.
