Perguntas frequentes

What if the video has no official creator name? ▼

Use the channel name as the creator: Channel Name. Year. "Title." Platform. Accessed...

Should I include the exact upload date or is the year enough? ▼

Year is sufficient for most cases. The access date is what's required in Chicago style.

Add the timestamp to the URL: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx&t=120s or mention it in your text.
