How do I embed in a text widget?

Shortcodes are not supported in the Text Widget by default. Add the following to your functions.php:

// Enable shortcodes in WP Text Widget
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop');
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode', 11);

Instead of wrapping the video URL in the shortcode, use the following in the Text Widget:

For more info on the shortcode, see the Codex.
