At the bottom of the list there is the 'Insert: YouTube' tab (big arrow pointing at it in the image above). Click this tab and you get a box appear like in the image below.

Now you need to add the YouTube video ID code, this is easy to find, just look in the address bar at the top of the YouTube page that your video is on.

The video ID is the random numbers and letters after the = symbol, eg: NRa7LgfPHpg
