Answer

According to the MLA Style Center:

If the creator's name is clear, the basic MLA format is:

  • Author. "Title of Video." YouTube, Publication Date, URL.
  • Example:

sayerb123. "Husky Puppy Talking Saying 'I Love You'." YouTube, 30 Dec. 2009, youtu.be/N_Qqs0Qw5CE.

If it is not clear who the creator of a video is, start the citation with the title of the video:

  • "Title of Video." YouTube, uploaded by Name, Publication Date, URL.

  • Example:

    "Capybara Meme." YouTube, uploaded by pigeonpartytime, 4 Oct. 2021, youtu.be/OHtyWD2934Q.
