I recommend the YouTube Field module. It has the option to be responsive and use the full width of whatever container it is in
There's also Video Filter if you are going to paste the videos into the body text.
I also use the "YouTube Field" module where there is a lot of content to embed.
If it's just a one-off... use iframes.
