If you have version 3 or higher of phpbb,
you can add your own BBCode buttons.

Log in to your Administrative Control Panel (ACP) and click on the Posting tab on the top menu.
then Add a new BBCode button.

Enter the following in the "BBCode usage" box:

Code: Select all

[youtube]{SIMPLETEXT}[/youtube]

and in the "HTML replacement" box:

Code: Select all

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{SIMPLETEXT}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

optional: in the “Help line text” box:

Code: Select all

Insert YouTube Video ID – Example: [youtube]zBhD00BP0[/youtube]

check "Display on posting page".
Submit

This should work.
I will try too add screen-shots later
