Description

This probably won't be on the top of anyone's list of things to fix... but I imagine it wouldn't be hard to implement!

I wanted to implement a YouTube embed that linked to a YouTube channel. AFAIK you can't do this with a param, but you can do it with the method described [on the support forum](https://support.google.com/youtube/forum/AAAAiuErobUTOLiiakr_-g/?hl=en&gpf=d/category-topic/youtube/how-to-use-youtube-features/TOLiiakr_-g):

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing component entry point and the linked YouTube support-forum method. Determine how channel embeds should be represented and verify that the new behavior works without breaking existing video embeds; the issue is complete when channel embedding is supported by the component.
