Youtube - Embed as IFRAME

Question

When I embed a YouTube video in the suggest manner (paste url) it adds this as an object. Is there a way to embed as IFRAME instead?

Maybe try pasting the iframe in the Text tab on the editor. — Howdy_McGee, Oct 5, 2015 at 15:52

If you don't want to utilize the latest oembed functions and want the old iframe way from any page or post, you can do these:

Get the embed code from any youtube video.
While editing/creating your post/page, select the Text(HTML) mode of the editor
Simply paste the embed code
- As noted by PayteR, this will only work if you are an administrator or super admin user

but for this, user must be admin, or superadmin if it's on multisite, because WP it will remove any potential threats like <iframe> <script> etc...
