How to Embed YouTube Video in New Profiles?

[Situational Alzheimers]

Basically, I want to be able to embed a YouTube video in my profile, and I've managed to do it...but I can't customize the size of the video or the color of the video user interface. Is there way for me to do both? I was able to do it last summer just fine! cry

No, that's HTML and the new profiles won't accept HTML in the custom module and there's nowhere to enter it in the media module.

Okay... here's how...
Use CURRENT theme...
Add a Media box.
Grab your YouTube URL... and do this.
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=eCTZOkL3CEg
Delete Everything in red. Mkay?
Then... Add a slash after "v"

Use this url and place it in your Media box. TADA!
Thats it.
PM me if you still need help.

For current profiles I found out you can specify the height and width of the media module via a style in the theme override. Here's mine:

.media_panel embed, .media_panel object
{
width: 466px;
height: 405px;
}
