The video's plot follows a day in the life of an outcast teenage girl, portrayed by Briana Evigan, interspersed with scenes of Linkin Park performing the song in a cathedral. The girl, an aspiring artist, is shunned and ridiculed by her mother, teachers, and peers. She is shown with self-inflicted cut marks on her arms that spell out "NUMB". At the song's climax, she throws paint at a canvas in anger, then runs into the cathedral that Linkin Park were performing the song in as if she heard them, only to find that they have disappeared.
In November 2018, "Numb" became Linkin Park's first music video to reach over one billion views on their YouTube channel as well as the first song released in the 2000's to do so.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/linkin-park-numb-video-1-billion-views-youtube-8484819|title=Linkin Park's Numb Becomes Band's First Video to Hit 1 Billion Views on YouTube|magazine=Billboard|last=Lukarcanin|first=Emina|date=November 13, 2018|access-date=October 31, 2020}} In March 2023, the video was remastered in 4K resolution.
