To cite a YouTube video using APA 7th edition guidelines, use the following format: Channel name/Author's last name, initials. (Year, Month Day). Title of video [Video]. YouTube. Full URL to the video.
Example: Quetext. (2024, March 15). How to Check Plagiarism in 3 Easy Steps [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example.
If the creator's real name differs from the channel name, include the real name in parentheses after the channel name. If no upload date is available, use (n.d.) in place of the date.
