How do I cite a TikTok video in APA?
Answer
APA recommends citing a TikTok in the following format:
Last Name, First Initial. [@username]. (Year, Month Date). Content of the post up to the first 20 words. [Description of audiovisuals]. TikTok. URL
Marist Library. [@marist.library]. (2024, January 18). We are here and ready to help!. [Video]. TikTok. https://www.tiktok.com/@marist.library/video/7325554278280465694
If citing a TikTok live stream, APA recommends citing it as a personal communication since it is not archived by TikTok.
