Yes, you can include YouTube links with recordings of your work, presentations, or projects in an EB-1A petition. They help illustrate your performance, but they come in as part of a larger body of evidence, not as standalone proof.

The EB-1A requires a clear and convincing demonstration of extraordinary ability, and the review seeks an integrated picture of your career trajectory. For that reason, videos carry more weight when they appear alongside official documents, letters, and other supporting evidence that reinforce each other and sustain the same narrative of achievement.

In practice, make sure the videos are public or accessible via link and add descriptions explaining what each one shows and how it connects to your record of distinction. That way, the reviewer understands the context without extra effort.

Since every petition package is unique, it is worth organizing your evidence in a structured way and checking the current criteria with USCIS, ideally with the support of a specialist.
