To embed a YouTube video:

Go into edit mode. And click on the “YouTube” button:

You will be provided with options on what you’d like to embed: a single video, playlist, a livestream etc. After you’ve selected an option, you will be provided with further instructions in the dialog box.

If you’d like to quickly embed a single YouTube video use the following shortcode:

embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXwaQXquA7E[/embedyt

(The opening and closing ‘[‘ brackets have been omitted to prevent embedding)

You can specify the width and height of the embedded video by appending&w=... or &w=...&h=...to the shortcode. It will automatically adapt to your theme’s content length and give you preferred dimensions.
