expat

'video' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'looking back by visiting foreign resident' is the wordplay.
'looking back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'by' becomes 'x' (multiplication sign).
'visiting' indicates putting letters inside.
'foreign resident' becomes 'tape' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'x' going into 'tape' is 'tapxe'.
'tapxe' back-to-front is 'EXPAT'.

'maybe' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for expat that I've seen before include "one working abroad" , "who now uses overseas address?" , "Brit abroad, say" , "one settled abroad" , "One living abroad (abbrev.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
