You can certainly embed YouTube videos in WordPress with oembed using the default embedder. However, a good YouTube WordPress plugin helps you easily embed and customize a video, playlist, channel, gallery, premiere, live stream, and facade. The premium version of this plugin has additional features like embed playback analytics.
To embed a gallery, livestream, schema tags, and more, you'll need to get a YouTube API key from Google. The Data API is free and comes with a decent quota, which can be extended. See here for steps on creating a YouTube API key. You can also learn plenty of other tips on the EmbedPlus How To Page.
