Yes, there are some extensions for that. Most of them are paid, which do not suit me qiite well. I could (and I did it in fact) embed [youtube] in an iFrame tag, but even workable this silution has some drawbacks:
1. Difficult to implement, have to allow iframe in your preffered editor, not quite documented;
2. Slow loading...
3. Not behind a facade - complain from a major search engine page analysis.
4. Not quite responsive
5. ... you can add here or delete some points above.

So I found a good solution here- lite-[youtube]-embed implemented by @brianteeman for J4 https://github.com/brianteeman/ytlite
What I doesn't like is using fields for YT url's. Probably I didn't find an easy way there.
Finally I will try to make a new plugin using the same code.
It will substitute any found string in the format of {yt/you-tube-url/title} with the actual code from Lite [youtube] Embed.

What I want, but I can't do right now:
- TinyMCE plugin providing WYSIWYG functionality;
- JCE plugin (my preffered editor) due to proprietary code;
- universal editor plugin placing a button outside of the editor interface.

So, what you think about all of that?

Hello,

You could have a look on UP universal plugin https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/up/

You could manage friendly [youtube] video, see demo https://up.lomart.fr/demo/action-media-[youtube]
But also with UP you could have lot of nice functionnality, I use it a lot and relace lot of extension by this plugin

Have a good day

It doesn’t get any easier than OS [youtube]. J4 or J5 (with b/c plugin enabled).

Search for it on JED; link gets changed when pasting on here.
