Accepted answer
Are there video recordings of humans said to be possessed by demons?
I would venture to say that such video recordings do exist, but the question implies several problems that are inherent to the supernatural, that is to say above the natural way of thing that man is accustomed to in life and understand it as such.
- Demons have no physical form and can not take on a human form in the absolute sense of the word. They can possess individuals physically, but their souls he can not be possessed.
- They may appear to individuals in some form or other through the usage of one’s imagination, but he can not take on a human nature properly speaking.
- Individuals who have been genuinely diagnosed (and I am speaking of those who have been to a Catholic Exorcist and have been evaluated also by medical professionals such as doctors, and psychiatrists, etc. in order to eliminate all other possibilities) may seem quite normal in most of their dealings with people. The Devil never wants to make himself obvious. He prefers to lurk in the shadows knowing that his prey is his possession and could possibly lead these souls into despair.
- Even though some (Christian) groups may claim that they have video recording of individuals who are possessed, what is the threshold of scientific or theological proofs that such recordings are in fact genuine.
I am convinced that such video recordings do exist, I would always be sceptical of such recordings, as there is no actual criteria to evaluate such things.
There exists a DVD entitled The Exorcist in the 21st Century (2012) which shows several individuals claiming to be possessed. The bonus features has a “real exorcism” performed by a Catholic bishop. I am skeptical of some things in the video, but will admit that some of the individuals interviewed are probably the “Real McCoy”.
You are free to discern it for yourself if you wish. I desire to remain neutral in this as best as possible.

Yes, according to some Christian groups.
There are a number of Christian groups that claim that h*m*sexuality is caused by demonic influence, and perform exorcisms to try to drive away the demons responsible for it.
Since there are a number of videos of events like gay pride parades, it then follows that those groups of Christians would regard them as videos of people possessed by demons.
