• The same format is used for other streaming video platforms like Vimeo, just replace the site name..
• Use the name of the account that uploaded the video as the author.
• If the account did not actually create the work, explain this in the text if it is important for readers to know. However, if that would mean citing a source that appears unauthoritative, you might also look for the author’s YouTube channel, official website, or other social media to see whether the same video is available elsewhere (American Psychological Association, 2020).

If the TED Talk is found on YouTube, use the owner of the YouTube account as the author to aid in retrieval (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 344).
