When you need to display sidebar widget with latest video from some YouTube channel or playlist, you can use customisable YouTube Channel plugin.

Simply insert widget to sidebar, set channel name and if you wish leave all other options on default. You will get latest video from chosen YouTube channel embedded in sidebar widget, with link to channel on the bottom of the widget. If you wish to use playlist instead of channel, just set playlist ID and injoy!
