Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'viral' (spreading rapidly/widely) with 'video' (a moving-image clip), yielding a video that becomes widely shared. Although 'viral' is metaphorically derived from biological viruses, its online sense is productive and compositional, so a learner who knows both constituents will understand the phrase.
Etymology
The phrase viral video links the word viral, meaning like a virus, and video: like an illness that spreads from person to person, a clip is shared again and again. That's why viral video means 'a video that becomes very popular by being widely shared', especially online.
