No BBcode needed.
Just add this extension and it will parse the link automatically. Does the same for twitter, youtube and many many more.

The problem with BBcodes is that if the format of the target link ever changes, they all break. This happens a lot with youtube where they use multiple different link types.

The media extension solves all of your embedding for pretty much every common format.
