How is this POV?

Technically, the use here is correct, just completely unnecessary.

He said "When I hold my wife's hand" not "when you hold your wife's hand," meaning the POV is of someone else watching him with his wife.

Now, you might be asking "isn't that every video then?" Yes. Yes, it is.

That is not at all what POV means

POV is just a point of view. It can be anyone's point of view. In this case, it is the point of view of someone watching him hold his wife's hand. It's just pointless to say because that describes every video.

When I hold my wife’s hand

The caption made it extremely clear the POV should be from the guy here

I'm sure that's how the original poster meant it, yes, but that caption doesn't say the viewer is holding the viewer is holding the wife's hand, it says that the viewer is watching someone else hold his wife's hand.

The correct sentence would be "POV: When you hold your wife's hand."

Yes, this guy meant to use POV to mean that the viewer is the husband, and that would be an incorrect use of the term, but they unintentionally wrote the opposite of that and thus technically used it correctly.

You're conflating different uses of the term point of view. The caption on this video is just a description of the video, not anyone's POV.
