APA style - Referencing for YouTube

I found a referencing way about YouTube.
Why I choose this one? Because, many reliable organisation have official YouTube account. Therefore, I think, we can use videos from YouTube as evidence for our  presentation in the future.

Here’s the general format for creating a reference for a video found on YouTube and other video-posting websites:

If both the real name of the person who posted the video and the screen name are known:
Author, A. A. [Screen name]. (year, month day). Title of video [Video file]. Retrieved from http://xxxxxxxxx

If only the screen name of the person who posted the video is known:
Screen name. (year, month day). Title of video [Video file]. Retrieved from http://xxxxxxxxx The in-text citations include the author name outside of brackets (whichever that may be) and the date.
