To cite a YouTube video:

Direct quotation without pagination

Use the time stamp for the beginning of a direct quotation taken for a YouTube video.

For example:

People make “sweeping inferences and judgments from body language” (Cuddy, 2012, 2:12)

To reference a YouTube video:

Bracketed descriptions

To identify works outside of peer-reviewed academic literature (articles and books), add a succinct description of the work in square brackets following the title, and end with a full stop.

The bracketed description for a YouTube video is [Video].

For example:

Stanford Graduate School of Business. (2013, June 12). Ken Chenault: Reinventing your brand [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9kxiNLQuZM

 

The guidelines outlined above can be applied on any online video.
