trolleando en mexico

There are a lot of Mexican youtube videos with the title "trolleando" - The dictionary says it's "trolling" - whatever that means. But the videos look like they're about doing public pranks.

Does anyone know what trolleando means in Mexico?

Gracias

I think Trollear in this context can be two things. One is an internet troll, like someone who goes around making argumentative comments or ruffling people's feathers online.

In this context though, it's like playing a joke on someone. So prank might be a good translation. But I think it's often meant to be a mean spirited joke or something that bothers someone, in an effort to make them laugh.
