How do I cite a YouTube video in APA format?

Answer

Here are two reputable sources with relevant information and examples for citing YouTube (or other) videos: 

  • The APA Style page YouTube Video References gives information and examples for YouTube videos and channels (which also applies to other sites, like Vimeo, that host user-generated videos), with advice for livestream (YouTube Live).  
  • The APA Style site also has a page that covers Audiovisual Media with common examples like podcasts, TEDTalk, and film or television. 
  • The Purdue OWL page Reference List: Audiovisual Media has a section "YouTube Video," and also provides guidance for other types of audiovisual media like film or video, podcast, or tv series episode.

For more APA citation help, see the library's Citation Help: APA page or Ask a Librarian.
