How to Cite YouTube Videos in MLA—No More Guesswork!

Let me confess: citing YouTube videos in MLA format once felt like deciphering ancient runes in a New York library basement. But, dear reader, I’ve cracked the code—and I’m here to share the magic! ✨ First, when quoting or paraphrasing, you can either slip a bit of the video’s title into parentheses or weave it into your sentence with elegant quotation marks. If you know the creator’s name (or even just their username), drop it in—either in your sentence or the citation itself. On your Works Cited page, list the creator, the full video title in quotes, the website (YouTube, of course), who uploaded it, the date, and the full URL. Easy, right? Or is it? Maybe you spot a flaw in my method—please, call me out in the comments! Let’s perfect this together. 📚 Have you stumbled over other tricky citations?
