Here’s our youtube insert in phpBB and done! This will allow you to insert a link like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxx between the brackets and get a nice video in the native, youtube player.
Warning! I strongly do not recommend using self-made or built-in players – the load in terms of the initial traffic (page loading) will increase dozens of times. Only embedded Youtube, only hardcore! 😉
