# YouTube citation generator

Canonical: https://postmesh.app/tools/youtube-citation-generator

Enter a video’s title, channel, date and link to copy a citation in APA, MLA or Chicago style.

## How it works

Each style orders the same details differently: who uploaded it, when, the title, the site and the URL. Fill them in once and copy the style you need.

It’s worked out in your browser.

## Steps

1. Enter the video’s details.

2. Pick APA, MLA or Chicago.

3. Copy the citation.

## Questions

### Who is the author of a YouTube video?

The person or channel that uploaded it. APA uses the channel name as the author.

### Is the citation checked?

It follows each style’s published format for online videos, but check it against your course or publisher’s guide.
