YouTube video to a content type, user, or any entity.

Display types include:

 * YouTube videos of various sizes and options.
 * YouTube thumbnails with image styles.


REQUIREMENTS

All dependencies of this module are enabled by default in Drupal 7.x.


INSTALLATION

All formats listed above can also be provided without 'http://', with 'www.',
or with 'https://' rather than 'http://'. The last format can be provided with
additional parameters (ignored) and v does not have to be the first parameter.
