6. Add 'Iframe' / 'Youtube' buttons in "Toolbar button" option

e.g.:

[Before]

['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike'],['Font','FontSize'],['TextColor','BGColor'],['Link','Unlink'],['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'],['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','Blockquote'],['Image','Flash','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar'],['RemoveFormat', 'Maximize']

youtube_height:'480',
youtube_related:true,

8. Tune htmlLawed option
 
You shoud change sanitize logic of Q2A core.
 
[2014/10/03] If you are using CKEditor V1.3 later, this is unnecessary (You can change sanitize option in CK admin panel).
 
8.1 Easy solution (for Q2A beginner)
 
Edit qa-include/qa-base.php::qa_sanitize_html
$safe=htmLawed($html, array(
'safe' => 1,
//'elements' => '*+embed+object-form',
'elements' => '*+embed+object+iframe-form',
'schemes' => 'href: aim, feed, file, ftp, gopher, http, https, irc, mailto, news, nntp, sftp, ssh, telnet; *:file, http, https; style: !; classid:clsid',
'keep_bad' => 0,
'anti_link_spam' => array('/.*/', ''),
'hook_tag' => 'qa_sanitize_html_hook_tag',
));
8.2 Expert solution (for Q2A engineer / designer / etc)
  1. Create new plugin
  2. Add override function module

Exmaple:

<?php
if (!defined('QA_VERSION')) { // don't allow this page to be requested directly from browser
  header('Location: ../../');
exit;
}
 
function qa_sanitize_html($html, $linksnewwindow=false, $storage=false)
{
  require_once 'qa-htmLawed.php';
  global $qa_sanitize_html_newwindow;
  $qa_sanitize_html_newwindow=$linksnewwindow;
  $safe=htmLawed($html, array(
    'safe' => 1,
    //'elements' => '*+embed+object-form',
    'elements' => '*+embed+object+iframe-form',
    'schemes' => 'href: aim, feed, file, ftp, gopher, http, https, irc, mailto, news, nntp, sftp, ssh, telnet; *:file, http, https; style: !; classid:clsid',
    'keep_bad' => 0,
    'anti_link_spam' => array('/.*/', ''),
    'hook_tag' => 'qa_sanitize_html_hook_tag',
  ));
  return $safe;
}
9. Edit content (Confirm result)
 
Editor
 
Insert content by Youtube dialog
 
Result
 
Edit content by Iframe dialog
 
10. Caution
  • iframe is a non-recommended tag.
  • Security level may withdraw a little by allowing iframe.
Have fun!!

Alternatively, you could use NoahY's embed plugin, which parses Youtube URLs automatically to the iframe embed code. However, your users need to know about this feature :)
