The Electric Book template includes a tag for easily inserting videos from YouTube and Vimeo. See the docs for more.

Neither have thumbnail images specified. On the web, if an image hasn’t been specified here, when you’re online the page will fetch a thumbnail for YouTube videos automatically. For Vimeo and in other formats (PDF, epub, app), you’ll get a placeholder.

Clicking the description will take you to the video online (except in print-PDF, where the print-ready PDF’s profile doesn’t allow clickable links).
