MLA Citation
The MLA does not specifically address how to cite a YouTube video. This has, it appears, led to some confusion as to the best method of for citing YouTube videos in MLA.
Based on MLA standards for other media formats, we feel that the following format is the most acceptable for citing YouTube videos:
“Title of Video.” Name of Website’s Publisher, uploaded by Author's Name or Poster's Username,
date of posting. URL.
Example:
Video - YouTube/Vimeo (p. 338)
"Air Canada: We're in the Business of You." YouTube, uploaded by Air Canada, 8 Apr. 2019, www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE9AFpsg7H8.
Video - App (Netflix, Hulu, Xfinity) (p. 329)
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Universal Studios, 1982. Netflix app.
Video - TED Talk (p. 335)
Allende, Isabel. "Tales of Passion." TED, Mar. 2007, www.ted.com/talk/isabel_allende_tells_tales_of_passion?language=en
