Since you're using the plain bibliography style, you could use either the @unpublished entry type or the catch-all @misc entry type for the paper at hand. With either of these two entry types, I suggest you use the note field to provide URL and similar information. Incidentally, based on the description you've provided, I would not use the entry type @techreport for this paper. The @techreport entry type should be used primarily for items issued as part of a working paper series, discussion paper series, or similarly numbered series of papers. That's why the @techreport entry type has fields such as institution (required) and type and number (optional).
Aside: which bibliography style you should -- or must -- use depends importantly on the style guidelines of the journal or outfit you intend to submit your paper to. One of the main advantages of using BibTeX (or, say, biblatex) for generating bibliographies and citation call-outs is that it's straightforward to switch between (pre-defined) bibliography styles.
Regarding your first follow-up question,
Can I always trust the entry generated by google scohlar? Occasionally I found typos there.
As a general rule, you should always double-check the correctness of all entries you've obtained online. In my experience, even bibliographic information derived from the publishers' own websites isn't 100 percent reliable.
You also asked,
I found this description:
@Unpublished: A document having an author and title, but not formally published. Required fields:author,title,note. Optional fields:month,year. What is the required field "note"? ... It says that a note is "Any additional information that can help the reader." Then why it is required instead of optional? ... if I write "note={preprint on webpage at math.rochester.edu/people/faculty/cohf}", is it considered enough and suitable?
For entries of type @unpublished, the note field generally contains information about the author's institutional affiliation (if known), a web address, and any other pieces of information which may be important and helpful to the reader and which do not belong in any of the other fields.
If you've loaded the url and/or hyperref packages, you could (should, actually...) encase any URL strings inside note fields in a \url{...} directive. E.g., you might write
note={preprint on webpage at \url{math.rochester.edu/people/faculty/cohf}},
This will help LaTeX find a decent line break in the URL string, should It be necessary to do so.
With package biblatex, you can cite online entries (@online) without anything to care about. All entry fields support an url field as well.
Remember, you can even refer to a very specific moment by appending the time to the youtube link.
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@online{youtube,
title = {Some cool motion sensor stuff},
date = {2015},
organization = {Youtube},
author = {Peter Zatko and Ivan Poupyrev and Rachid El
Guerrab and Regina Dugan},
url = {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpbWQbkl8_g#t=20m15s},
}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[maxnames=10]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\cite{youtube}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

This is primarily opinion-based, but probably you should use
@ONLINE(depends onbiblatexorbibtexand the style) or@MISCfor that purpose.
