/(?:youtube\.com\/watch\?v=|youtu\.be\/|youtube\.com\/embed\/)([\w\-]{11})/g

Raw source: (?:youtube\.com\/watch\?v=|youtu\.be\/|youtube\.com\/embed\/)([\w\-]{11})

How it works

Matches any of three URL forms (watch?v=, youtu.be/, embed/) and captures the 11-character video ID that follows. The ID uses word characters and hyphens.
