Refer to the core elements of MLA style as they apply to your resource to create your references:
Remember, all nine of the core elements may not apply to the item you are referring to. Only use those elements that apply to the work you are referencing.
Note: Whether the title of the video is in italics or quotations depends on the nature of the work. See below.
There are different ways to format an in-text citation, depending on your writing style and sentence structure. In-text citations must correspond to the first element of the works cited entry. For videos, this will often be the creator's names, or title video. Include timings as necessary. You may use a shortened version of the title in parenthetical in-text citations. Format the title in in text-citations the same way that it is formatted in your works cited (in quotations or italics).
