I was wondering is there was a way to Auto Embed recent uploads from a YouTube channel to a website? I don't even know where to start. Help?

Use the following code to auto-embed the latest video from a YouTube channel by specifying the channel ID instead of the channel name.
var channelID = "UC0xXUfNSFQN3qOmf_G_nT5w";
var reqURL = "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=";
$.getJSON("https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=" + encodeURIComponent(reqURL)+channelID, function(data) {
var link = data.items[0].link;
var id = link.substr(link.indexOf("=")+1);
$("#youtube_video").attr("src","https://youtube.com/embed/"+id + "?controls=0&showinfo=0&rel=0");
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<iframe id="youtube_video" width="600" height="340" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Source: https://codegena.com/auto-embed-latest-video-youtube-channel/

This script no longer works, heres an easy way to do it.
<iframe width="600" height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=user_uploads&list=YOUR_CHANNEL_NAME_HERE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
To get your channel name click "My Channel" and its the line of text after "/user/".
Fiddle
You can also embed playlists with this:
<iframe width="600" height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/+lastest?list=PLAYLIST_ID" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title>YouTube Recent Upload Thing</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

<body>
<div id="static_video"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showVideo(response) {
if(response.data && response.data.items) {
var items = response.data.items;
if(items.length>0) {
var item = items[0];
var videoid = "http://www.youtube.com/embed/"+item.id;
console.log("Latest ID: '"+videoid+"'");
var video = "<iframe width='420' height='315' src='"+videoid+"' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>";
$('#static_video').html(video);
}
}
}
</script>
