The Youtube button that's above the text field on the reply page. Just put it around the URL for the video.


Seems you need to keep the link as close to the basic form as possible so something like this:

Will show up like this:



However with the usual related link, the URL given from chosing the video from the endscreen or an embeded link will add a little more to it like this:


Which in that case will show up like this instead:



Which seems to be a bug, meaning most of the broken ones around shouldn't actually be broken. But, they are easily fixed if you can spot what to remove from whatever link you end up using to get it to its basic form.
