There are two ways.
1. Visit the video page on Youtube and grab the embed code to use in the Text(HTML) editor of a page or post.
2. Use the WordPress embed option: http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#In_A_Nutshell

Why do you need a video player? It would probably be easier to use the WordPress embed functionality if you’re just showing YouTube videos.
You do not need a plugin. You can embed a (youtube) video on any post or page desired.

The second instructions when followed (correctly) also work.
Put the code wherever you want the video to show up on your site – just copy the URL from YouTube.
what is better to do – use the video player or just use the you tube link ? where does the you tube link go ??
wherever you want the video to show up on your site – just copy the URL from YouTube.
In the page or post – copy the URL from YouTube.
Don’t use a plugin.

YouTube link. Just paste the URL of the video on a line of its own in any post or page, and it will display as an embedded video when you publish.
