The easiest way is to copy paste their embed code. Having said that, it is incompatible with GTPR which requires a permission from your visitors before you serve any cookies. As such, Nicolas Morand’s oui cookie plugin comes to the rescue.

To respond to your question.

Create a miscellaneous form in Presentation>Forms, call it video, and add the following

<txp:oui_cookie name="video_cookie" duration="+1 month" values="yes" />
<txp:oui_if_cookie name="video_cookie">
<div class="embed-container">
<iframe width="100%" height="auto" id='m_<txp:yield name="media" />' src='https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/<txp:yield name="media" />' frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
<txp:else />
<p class="accept"><a rel="nofollow noindex noodp noydir noarchive nocache" href="?m_<txp:yield name="media" />">Watch this youtube video here</a></p>
</txp:oui_if_cookie>

To embed the cookie warning in the article, and if accepted, the video itself use the id of the video. So if you wish to embed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BtEakGuN8o, in the article page use:

<txp::video media="4BtEakGuN8o" />

for the CSS use

.embed-container{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%}
.embed-container embed,.embed-container iframe,.embed-container object{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}
