How do you cite a YouTube video as a reference in APA format?

I found a video on YouTube that I want to cite as a reference in a paper. The video is of a U.S. Representative adressing congress, and it was originally aired on CSPAN. I cannot find the video anywere else on the Internet. I don’t know if I need to credit the speaker, CSPAN, or YouTube. I also do not know the proper way to add the citation into my reference list. If anyone can help, it would be very beneficial to me.

I’d think you’d reference it the same way you reference any website. Include the title of the website (in this case, the title of the video & youtube), the year the site was created (if you can find it), the date you accessed the page, & the actual URL of the website.

It would probably be best to find the issue of the Congressional Record that has the text of that speech, and cite that.
