It has all the features of other similar plugins - Smart YouTube, for instance. In fact if there's a feature in another YouTube embedding plugin that this doesn't have, let me know - I haven't come across it!
To add a video to a post or page simply use the shortcode [youtube ]video[/youtube], where video is the ID or URL of the video. Alternatively, you can add one (or more) widgets to your sidebar.
Within the administration area of your blog you will find a new menu named YouTube (see screenshot 1). Click on the Options sub-menu to set a number of general options. Alternatively click on the Profiles sub-menu to set the default options which define the output of your videos - any videos you display (unless overridden by parameters - more on that later) will use the settings from the Profiles screen.
The above should get you started - for more information and advanced options please read the "Other Notes" tab. This also includes details on how to migrate from another embedding plugin to YouTube Embed.
Although this document contains a lot of information more is available from a series of linked pages, plus as much information as possible is provided on the various administration pages. Whilst on the administration pages, click on the "Help" button in the top right for some useful tips and links. If anything isn't covered and you're unsure of what it does please ask on the forum.
