Not sure if you're looking for a video dedicated to div's but I don't think there is one.

I think through practice you'll learn where to use them.

Ok, I think if you start going through some of the project based courses you'll see the use of div's and you'll get a better idea of when they should be used.

Div's are a general purpose element and should be used when you don't have a more semantic element to use instead.

Div's have been traditionally used to contain the major blocks of a webpage but they're also used as containers for slideshows, etc...

There are many uses for them and as mentioned I think with practice you'll learn the different uses for it.

Edit: Project based courses like "How to make a Website"
