SharePoint 2010 - YouTube web part

Thanks to my colleague Marc Boes I learned how to show a YouTube movie in SharePoint! I want to share this with you :-)

Go to YouTube, click at Share and Embed, now copy this code. For example:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1LN6O9jPdVE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Go to SharePoint and add a content editor web part. Click at HTML in the ribbon and choose Edit HTML Source. Now copy and paste the Embed line and save:

 It is as easy as that :-) This is also works in SharePoint Online!

I got a tip from a visitor from NothingbutSharePoint with the warning that this solution won't always work. Check out his blog here:
