If using a HTML widget
It appears it is currently embed using this...
<embed width="520" height="320" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" x-shockwave-flash"="" application="" src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=979W1QB1H2Q">
Perhaps use this instead...
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/979W1QB1H2Q?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Change width and height as needed. :)

The main reason the embed code you were using wasn't working was because you had the actual YouTube page as the video source.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=979W1QB1H2Q
However, that's just where the video is embedded on YouTube. The source of a YouTube video will look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/979W1QB1H2Q
In any event, the iframe code Mr_Running posted is probably the better option, since that's what YouTube promotes now. Again, note the source URL.
