How do I cite a YouTube video in APA format?

According to the Official APA® Style and Grammar Guidelines, the basic APA format for a YouTube video is:

• Author, A.A. (year, month day). Title of video [Video]. YouTube. https://...
  • Use the name of the account that uploaded the video as the author.
  • Include the specific date on which the video was uploaded. 
  • Italicize the video title.
  • Include [Video] after the title. [Video] is not italicized.

  • Provide the site name (YouTube) and URL of the video.

• Example: 
  • Harvard University. (2019, August 28). Soft robotic gripper for jellyfish [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guRoWTYfxMs
  • Parenthetical citation: (Harvard University, 2019) 
  • Narrative citation: Harvard University (2019)

Cite a YouTube channel:

• Author, A.A. (n.d.). Title of channel [YouTube channel]. Retrieved month day, year, from https://....
  • YouTube channel pages begin on the 'Home' tab by default. To cite one of the other tabs (Videos, Playlists, Community, or Channels), use the name of that tab rather than Home in the title element of the reference (as in the NASA example below). 
  • Italicize the title of the channel. 
  • Include the description “[YouTube channel]” in square brackets after the title. 
  • Provide a retrieval date, because the content is designed to change over time and is not archived.
• Examples:

Oneida Digital Media. (n.d.). Home [YouTube channel]. Retrieved July 12, 2022, from https://www.youtube.com/user/OneidaProductions

NASA. (n.d.). Playlists [YouTube channel]. YouTube. Retrieved July 12, 2022 from https://www.youtube.com/c/NASA/playlists

Parenthetical citations: (Oneida Digital Media, n.d.)  (NASA, n.d.)

Narrative citation:  Oneida Digital Media (n.d.) and NASA (n.d.)
