    Ideally, you should be able to just cut and paste the Youtube code into your post and it will display. However, I found a YouTube plugin for WordPress. Try installing it and see if that works for you. :)

    An alternative to the plugin is to disable the Rich-Text editor:
    Options - Writing - uncheck "Users should use the visual rich editor by default".

    Also check:
    Users - scroll down to see "Personal Options" - uncheck "Use the visual rich editor when writing".
