Upgrade StorageCitations for Youtube videos
I have a video of a lecture that was uploaded onto YouTube. What is the best way to
1) Enter it into Zotero?
2) Cite it (do you use time stamps?)
1) Enter it into Zotero?
2) Cite it (do you use time stamps?)
When citing, insert a citation as normal. If you need to refer to a specific time point in the video, refer to a timestamp. You can enter the timestamp in the suffix field.
The video is of a lecture that was posted by the University of Chicago Center for International Studies from their series on Global Energies. The lecture was entitled Myths and Realities and was given by Anthony Ingraffea,
In Zotero, the Save to Zotero tool populated the Title based on what the Center's Video title was, Director as the You Tube Channels' username (UChicagoCISSR) and the URL and running time.
How would I format the remaining information. What field(s) should I use.
I want to cite a YouTube clip from the movie "Animal House." It's the classic, but very short scene (https://youtu.be/zDAmPIq29ro) in which Kevin Bacon shouts "All is well."
The video recording item type is oriented to an original work, but in this case the item is a short excerpt. In a circumstance like this, does the reference information (but not the link) (1) refer only to the original movie, (2) to the YouTube page with the poster as "Director," (3) combine an ad hoc hybrid between a web page and a video, or (4) use a different item type such as "web page"?
If you do want to cite the clip from YouTube, you can still cite it using the "Video Recording" or "Film" item types. Enter the YouTube poster as "Director".
What did Baudrillard think about The Matrix?
Type Video Recording
Director [Cuck Philosophy]
URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf9J35yzM3E
Date 2019-09-11
Format Video File
This is Zotero's APA citation:
[Cuck Philosophy]. (2019). What did Baudrillard think about The Matrix? [Video File]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf9J35yzM3E
This should be the citation according to APA[1]:
[Cuck Philosophy]. (2019, Sep 11). What did Baudrillard think about The Matrix? [Video File]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf9J35yzM3E

I had to manually enter the video’s username (author) and date.
Then, when I copy/paste the bibliography for that item, it’s missing the month and day and the words “Video File”.
For this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24d-FEptYj8 , I get this bibliography:
Duncan, S. (2013). Carl Rogers and Gloria—Counselling (1965) Full Session. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24d-FEptYj8
Also, the text is copying in two colors, white and black, so I have to manually change the color after copying it.
Any suggestions to fix this? Thanks!
For full date, see my answer above.
Regarding date, shouldn't zotero be able to recognize a youtube url and then format it correctly? I don't know the mechanics, but Z does such a good job of recognizing types of sources in other ways, seems like it should be possible.
What Zotero Format should I use?
Same with ONLINE MEDIA - SOCIAL MEDIA e.g. TikTok video https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples/tiktok-references
Please update the formats of ZOTERO to match apastyle…
Or can I create my own formats?
for entering YouTube videos into Zotero. I don't think there are TikTok videos in the manual, but they follow the exact same pattern.
Enter the channel name like this in Extra rather than in the Director field:
Author: Channel Name
@dstillman Would it be possible to set the default creator type for Video Recording to be one mapped to CSL author rather than director?

See https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/items/ME3MGWKF and https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/items/SA9BJLT6
for entering YouTube videos into Zotero. I don't think there are TikTok videos in the manual, but they follow the exact same pattern.
When I add a YouTube to Zotero, there is a difference when the bibliographic entry is generated by the desktop version, as opposed to the online synced library.
From the desktop version, the following entry is created:
Pierce, J. E. (Director). (2018, September 29). Unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria—Example and tutorial [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdufr7pLQNU
From the online version, this is created:
Pierce, J. E. (2018, September 29). Unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria - example and tutorial [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdufr7pLQNU
As you can see, the online version is APA7 compliant, while my desktop version (current) is adding the (Director) element. Is there any way to get my desktop version to leave (Director) out?
Since I'm citing TV commercials, I've put the sponsor in the Producer field. However, this does not fill the Creator column in the main pane view, which makes the video items harder to find again.

The bibliography is formed properly:
Pfizer (Producer). (2001, May). Original Zoloft Commercial [Youtube]. ABC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twhvtzd6gXA&feature=emb_logo
Can this be fixed so the Creator column is filled?
You'd need to tell us which style you're using to give you concrete help.
I was asking if the Zotero main pane column (Creator) could be populated with Director, Cast Member, Contributor, Producer, or Scriptwriter. It's a Zotero display problem.
In general, we need more development in citation of non-print formats. A lot of activity is happening in video (as on Youtube) these days.
