To include a video in your article simply find the YouTube video and enclose its url inside the [hmyt] and [/hmyt] tags. So, for example, to use this YouTube video in an article:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxku0EpqzKI
You would enclose it inside the tags like:
[hmyt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxku0EpqzKI[/hmyt]
You can also override the default settings (set in the plugin admin) by using tag parameters. In the above example, if you wanted the video to 500 px wide, and 300 px tall, you would include with width and height tag parameters, which would look like the following:
[hmyt width="500" height="300"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxku0EpqzKI[/hmyt]
The site documentation list all available tag params and usage.
I will try to support this plugin, however, remember that I am just a guy who wrote a plugin for his own needs and decided to share it with the Joomla community. Also, as I'm not an experienced programmer, I can't promise to find the solution to every potential problem. The code is very simple though, and I don't foresee too many issues.

I needed a way to show video from my iPhone. I had been taking video with a small camera then converting it to flv which was fine. Except I got an iPhone for Christmas and found that I can take and upload video directly from my phone.
Problem was I needed a way to view it on the site. HM Tube solved that, and it is MUCH MUCH easier than some other extensions I looked at.
