Just paste the URL in html mode, and you get auto resized video.
Vivek Parmar says
Ashfame, you have to still select the appropriate width and height.

I think I agree with Vivek Parmar, you still need to select the appropriate width and height. There are themes that do not auto-resize.
Vivek Parmar says
Yes you are right Ronald, according to theme we have to resize the video
