APA 7 Citations
1.For titles in APA 7, the first letter of the first word should be capitalized and the rest of the words should be begin with small letters unless of course they are proper nouns. Is there a way that this could be corrected?
2. The use of "Presentations" over "Video Recordings" for TEDTalks and Youtube presentations seems ambiguous. But if you use video recordings, the bibliography will not compile correctly. Perhaps we need a bucket that just says TEDTalks and YouTube?

2) No, systematically that makes sense: video recordings can be of all sorts of things. What's important here is what this is a video recording of, which is, e.g., of a presentation at a TED conference. I don't think there's much of a chance these will get a new item type.

This does format correctly according to the APA manual. Video Recording is the correct type for this sort of item. Presentation is appropriate for an academic presentation, such as at a conference. But the distinction isn’t particularly important so long as a URL is provided. You will find a lot of diversity in how citations to these sorts of items appear in APA journals.
