How do I cite a Facebook video?

How do I cite YouTube? Can I cite a clip of a video? How do I cite LinkedIn Learning videos? Can I cite a TEDTalk?


Answer

You need to include four items in a Source List entry. This list is the same for all source types:

  • Name of the author or organization that created the source
  • Publication date
  • Title of the source
  • How to find the source (typically a permalink)

Page numbers are optional in an entry and are usually only included for print materials. 

Here's a sample using YouTube:

The Adecco Group. July 18, 2011. The Power of HR Metrics: Growth, Performance, Sustainment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJRHRxa6O7s
