If a person is buying 200 shares, in turn he will be buying 200 shares from someone. Here the volume 200 is both the buy quantity for buyer and sell quantity for seller. In other words it is the traded quantity, to say in common.
So what you see in the trading terminals, the current market volumes say, 1 min data is the amount of shares traded in a total of 1 minute.
