Citing a YouTube video in MLA
According to Scribbr, a YouTube video in MLA should look like this:
Liu, Jessica. “Develop a Theoretical Framework in Three Steps.” YouTube, uploaded by Scribbr, 20 Aug. 2020, www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y1BAqOnhMM.
At the beginning is the creator of the video, and the person who uploaded it on YouTube only comes later.
I am quoting this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwLn_His9Yw&ab_channel=CalebSandersier
What I get is this:
1942 - Bugs Bunny Says: ‘What’s up Doc’. Directed by HansTrein, 2011. YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwLn_His9Yw.
(with the title in italics)
Normally, it should say Tex Avery, then the title, then "uploaded by HansTrein" (rather than "directed by".
If I enter "Tex Avery" as a director, which role should I give to the person who uploads it?
Apparently, I only have the choice between "Director / cast member / contributor / producer / scriptwriter"

Is the field "director" supposed to be for the person who UPLOADS it?
This seems strange to me.
Or should I NOT quote a YouTube video, but instead quote a TV program, possibly, and just add the URL, in this case?
