There’s a thread devoted to this in Site Feedback:

The current consensus seems to be to use the video URL (not the page URL) from YouTube and to make this the last thing added to your post and quickly, before the video preview shows up in your preview window, hit Reply. (so make sure you fix typos and grammar errors before).

Opinion is divided on whether the forward slash makes a difference.
