Hey Clay,

Afaik qa20-us should be configured to work with the youtube videos.
I just tested this and it seemed to work fine for me: http://cl.ly/IJst

However, the owner of a youtube video can disable embedding the video & make it 
private.
But even with those settings it seemed to work for me.

Would it be possible to report this in jira and perhaps make a screencast?
It would be good to know the following things:
 - which browser are you using (+ version)
 - what is the URL of the video
