  You’re trying to use the embed code. Don’t do that; it doesn’t work on WordPress.com blogs. Use the URL only (it’s in the box above the embed code) and put it in square brackets like this:

  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/v/p5aQ7BxVAiA]

  Well that’s just filler example code. Use it with an actual YouTube code and it will work.
