Yeah well, why isn't available ?
Could be pretty cool.

It'll be added in the long-awaited forum upgrade, if I'm not mistaken.

when is the update?

My only reservation is that once embedding is allowed, many posts will be nothing but long tedious strings of youtube embeds, making browsing and loading a page a chore.

This has happened more or less on every forum I've been to that has added embed functionality.

I mean, it's nice, but I don't see it as a necessary feature.

You hit the nail on the head. The loading times could potentially be awful.

I really don't see the point of embedding You Tube vids, a link is just fine. What does it matter where you see the video?

Maybe putting a 10-video limit could work. I saw that on various forums. Or putting them under a Spoiler tag or something like this, I dunno.

You could make it like on my college forum. When you put a youtube link, it creates a thumbnail in the post instead, and when you click on the thumbnail, it opens the video in a window, like on the screenshot here (from an OCR thread I made a while ago :P):

I think 10 videos would be a rather extensive limit. Make it 4, as pictures used to be.

Loading time ?
Are you still on 56k ?
lol really

it's REALLY necessary.

But I'd agree if you said to limit the video per post.
I'd say 2-3 vids per post.

Not so much processing power as much as it is connection - a shitty d-link wireless router on the other side of the apartment isn't conducive to fast internet load times.
