How to Cite Videos
Citing videos correctly is essential for academic integrity and to give credit to the original creators. Here are some guidelines to help you properly cite videos in your work.
APA Format
In APA format, the citation for a video typically includes the following elements:
- Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day). Title of the video [Video]. Platform. URL
For example:

MLA Format
In MLA format, the citation structure is slightly different:
- “Title of the Video.” Website Name, uploaded by Uploader's Name, Day Month Year, URL.
For example:

- Last Name, First Name. “Title of Video.” Website Name. Month Day, Year. URL.
For example:
