CKEditor: Allow video embed code

Question

I am using CKEditor and want to allow the insertion of embed code from YouTube, Vimeo etc. CKEditor turns all tags into HTML Chars equivalent, which is good, but I want it to make exceptions for this kind of content. iFrames seem to be how it's done nowadays, so how can I tell CKEditor to leave iFrame tags alone?

Thank you.

Just found your question while searching for the same solution. Here is what I found. Basically, it adds a button to your toolbar like the Image button, but it pops up a box for you to paste the embed code from YouTube, Vimeo etc. into. Seems to work pretty well.
