Citing a video hosed online of a presentation at a confrence
What is the common practice for the citation of a video of a presentation at conference? The video is hosted online.
I have seen the video cited as the following:
Silverman, L. (2011). Social Work of Museums. Online video. Bunker Ljubljana. Consulted October 14, 2014. Available http://vimeo.com/19213313
My objection to this citation is that, while it does cite video media, it ignores that the video is of a conference presentation!
Presentations are a distinct entity in Zotero as are Videos, and Websites!
My question both to Zotero devs, and to a broad general audience, is:
If we were to assume that (in this particular case) the collection of videos on a Vimeo channel is akin to a conference proceedings, but in a video format, should — or is it reasonable to — cite this kind of thing as part of a conference proceedings, even though there is no formal proceedings in book format?
The Zotero specific challenge with this is that with a presentation template (data input in Zotero) there does not seem to be a place to put information like the Channel name for video materials.
Examples use the APA 6th edn CSL file.

(Of course this is my personal opinion, and some style guides might suggest something else, but I can't see how citing the actual presentation as a presentation is wrong. Unless the video has additional content, of course.)
