YouTube

just let the user enter the URL to the YouTube video, then they expand that into the iframe code recommended by YouTube. And it's a hell of a lot simpler. They just copy the URL right out of the address bar.

So this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IANBoybVApQ

is turned into something like this (if you want to use the youtube-nocookie site).

[iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/IANBoybVApQ?wmode=opaque"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""][/iframe]

It may still work, but there's a notice that this was deprecated back in January 2015.

Deprecation Notice

YouTube [object] embeds were deprecated on January 27, 2015. Please migrate your applications to use [iframe] embeds, which can intelligently use whichever embedded player - HTML ([video]) or Flash ([object]) - the client supports.
