To cite a TED Talk in APA Style<\/a>, the format differs slightly depending on whether you viewed it on TED\u2019s website<\/a> or on YouTube.<\/p>\n

To cite a TED Talk from the TED site, list the speaker as author, give the date listed on the site, include \u201cVideo\u201d in square brackets after the title, list the publisher as \u201cTED Conferences,\u201d and give the URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Citing a TED Talk viewed on YouTube<\/h2>\n

If you viewed the TED Talk on YouTube<\/a>, the format differs slightly. The uploader (usually TED) is listed as author, the date given is when the video was uploaded to YouTube, and YouTube is listed as the publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

APA in-text citations for TED Talks<\/h2>\n

Timestamps are used in place of page numbers when you need your in-text citation to identify a specific moment in the talk\u2014for example, when you quote something the speaker said.<\/p>\n

In-text citation with timestamp<\/figcaption>(Sivaram, 2020, 1:04<\/span>)<\/figure>\n

When your in-text citation doesn\u2019t include the name of the speaker (i.e. when you cite from YouTube), it\u2019s generally useful to name the speaker in the text, so that you\u2019re not just referring to \u201cTED.\u201d<\/p>\n

Specifying the speaker in the text<\/figcaption>Justice reform advocate Nisha Anand<\/span> opens her talk with the story of her family\u2019s experiences during the Partition of India (TED, 2020, 1:59).<\/figure>\n

Frequently asked questions about APA Style citations<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\n \n \n How do I cite a quote from a video or audio source in APA Style?\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/dt>\n
\n
\n

When you need to highlight a specific moment in a video<\/a> or audio source, use\u00a0a timestamp in your APA in-text citation<\/a>. Just include the timestamp from the start of the part you\u2019re citing. For example:<\/p>\n

(TED<\/a>, 2020, 1:59<\/span>).<\/figure>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/dd>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n \n \n Whom should I list as the author of a YouTube video in APA Style?\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/dt>\n
\n
\n

To make it easy for the reader to find the YouTube video<\/a>, list the person or organization who uploaded the video as the author in your reference entry<\/a> and APA in-text citation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If this isn\u2019t the same person responsible for the content of the video, you might want to make this clear in the text. For example:<\/p>\n

Nisha Anand (TED<\/a>, 2020) states that \u2026<\/figure>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/dd>\n <\/div>\n <\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
