Sure. You can either use video_details(video_id) to find all the
details for the video (and also make it dead simple to display, or just
use the code from
#embed_html – all it does is wrap the id in html, like this:

where width and height are passed to the embed_html method

and where embed_url is generated from the video’s page on YouTube by

@embed_url = @url.delete(‘?’).sub(‘=’, ‘/’)

So, you don’t actually need to even use the gem if you know the id, and
could generate the embedded video yourself using something like
“YouTube”
