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>

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

Edit

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>
