In admin ACP panel in PHPBB you goto Postings.
Create new post
at start you put in first box

[youtube]{text}{[/youtube}

2nd box the code

<object width="873" height="525"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_qJvqL_c4uY&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_qJvqL_c4uY&hl ... 1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="873" height="525"></embed></object>

if uou have problems with the movie playing use this code.

<object width="400" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://{TEXT1}youtube.com/v/{TEXT2}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://{TEXT1}youtube.com/v/{TEXT2}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="350"></embed></object>
