Referencing YouTube videos

So, we watch a good quality YouTube video, and we want to use it in our writing. I use YouTube videos regularly, and try to be consistent in how I APA reference them, sometimes making amendments to the video titles to make them clearer (in square brackets to show that this amendment is not that of the original author). 

So a student asked if the following APA reference they had prepared was correct:

TEDxSFA. (n.d). Able Privilege, Re-Conceptualizing Disability: Alan Larson at TEDxSFA [YouTube]. TEDxTalk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX9tgr7yfwo

When I went in to look at the video, I felt that I would format the title, date and URL differently, so the video reference now looked as follows:

TEDx Talks. (2013, May 29). Able Privilege, Re-Conceptualizing Disability: Alan Larson at TEDxSFA [video]. YouTube. https://youtu.be/mX9tgr7yfwo

Why would I do that? Because I felt that the original didn't show the actual author, which is the channel name. This item - in my opinion - is not a "n.d." (and note the additional full stops in the no date abbreviation). There has been an upload date supplied, we just have to look a little further to find it. The URL in the original is a playlist URL. I personally prefer to get a 'clean' YouTube link using the share function which can be found is below the video. YouTube is the corporate author. So that's the why; what are the components?

Reference uses the following information, and I aim to replicate the format for each video:

• Author: Channel name exactly as it is
• Date: click the down arrow near the 9 years and the full date appears. I copy it out exactly as it appears
• Title: the title of the video exactly as it appears, then add the format in square brackets
• Corporate author: YouTube
• Source: I click the share video button underneath the player frame, and click 'copy' on the popup to get the stripped out URL

Citation:

• Author: TEDx Talks
• Date: 2013

I use the APA pattern, and I try to be consistent!
