Confused about `Meeting Name` and `Title` in `Presentation` item type

Annie_of_the_Stars · February 18, 2022

I want to cite this lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av5Hf7uOu-o The item type for the job is `Presentation`, but I don't understand what to put in the fields `Title` and `Meeting Name`. I've read through [the documentation](https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields#fields_for_presentations_and_performances), but it only adds to the confusion. Any help?

The Title field should hold the title of the presentation itself. The Meeting Name field should hold the name of the conference or event where the presentation was made, if any.

Here is an example https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/test_items_library/collections/MR2N872S/items/FMULEPQS/item-details

For this item, you could cite as a Presentation with “Luck in Games” as the title and ITU Copenhagen as the meeting name.

But I would suggest citing as a Video Recording with the title ‘Richard Garfield - “Luck in games” talk at ITU Copenhagen” and YouTube as the studio. Here’s an example https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/test_items_library/collections/MR2N872S/items/PIJI4K37/item-details

@bwiernik Yes! Your wording and examples were what I needed. :) I'm going for the presentation item type rather than video recording. Still, thank you very much.
