APA citing webinars

I will often use webinars, or show clips from webinars, in my teaching (with permission, of course). The citation is completely as we would expect with APA (i.e., Author, date). If we want to quote what the author said, we simply add a time stamp for the video - but we do that using US time notation, which is a colon separator, not a full stop; presented as "(Author, date, xx:xx)" (Mueller, 2023).

However, the APA reference for webinars is a little more involved:

• We use the presenter's name as the Author (and as usual, family name, then first name initials so we degenderise the entry). Treat multiple authors as normal (i.e. presenters separated by a comma and an ampersand before the final author).
• Then we have the date that the presentation occurred in brackets: year, month, date (YYYY, Mmmm dd).
• The title of the webinar, with [webinar] in square brackets at the end of the title, and before the full stop.
• Then the name of the organisation or the webinar hoster or publisher, followed by a full stop.
• Then the URL the webinar is located or streamed from.

So that's (Mueller, 2023):

Presenter, A. A. (Year, Month Date). Title of webinar in sentence case [Webinar]. Publisher/Sponsor. URL

Or:

Presenter, A. A., & Presenter, B. B. (Year, Month Date). Title of webinar in sentence case [Webinar]. Publisher/Sponsor. URL

It is easy when we know how.
