Does anybody know the potential cause of this clicking/creaking sound when I pedal?

Your bike has an issue somewhere. This video helps no one identify it, but places to look include pedals, seatpost, headset, crankset, cassette, cleats, bottom bracket, etc. (no particular order). Suggest you start with the easiest ones and work up to the harder ones until it goes away
Chainring bolts or crank bolts. After that, pedals
Croc creak
Try putting it in a stand and turning the pedals while looking carefully at all the places that have things moving.
Use your ingenuity to decide questions to eliminate things:
– does it happen when the wheels are turning but the pedals are not?
– does it happen when only the front wheel is turning?
– does it happen when you turn the crank but not the pedal?
– does it happen in only one gear on the rear?
– does it happen in only one gear on the front?
– <enter your own list of additional elimination questions here>.
