There are lots of different strategies that may aid in making a video go viral, but what it comes down to is the sheer number of views and shares.

Cheers!

While there may be a correlation between the two, a viral video is really just a video that gets spread to a large number of people quickly. (Like a virus, get it?) Even by this standard there's no definite limit that makes a video count as viral, as people's definitions of a "large number" and "quickly" may be different.
