What
Hi,
A video that showed two University of California, Davis, police officers using pepper spray on seated protesters has gone viral, with hundreds of thousands watching what might have been a relatively small encampment compared with the larger protests across the country. The video has led to demands that Chancellor Linda P. B. Katehi resign.
I think the fused relative word "what" in the underlined phrase can be replaced with "the video that" since it is pretty obvious that what they have watched is the video, mentioned in the beginning of the paragraph. Am I correct?
Thank you in advance.
