Update
You are now enabled to use youtube videos as avatars.
If you wanted to use the video at http://youtube.com/watch?v=FB2WUSvQStg then the url to the default thumbnail for that video would be http://img.youtube.com/vi/FB2WUSvQStg/2.jpg
Set the height and width of the avatar as well since the video player will use those to define its own dimensions.
All you need to do is take the ID of the video (the red part) and plug it into the image url to get the thumbnail. You could also try 1.jpg and 3.jpg to see if you like those images better but Youtube always uses 2.jpg which is usually a snapshot from a keyframe located in the middle of the video.

Sweet!  Nice option! I'm not sure I'll try it now, though, but omigod, it's definitely a good thing!

I support GOOD anime and quality. Don't watch/read Haruhi, the cancer of modern anime/manga. |

and also to watch a video avatar simply click on the avatar to play it ^^. Use mine for example (I used my Tsuna vs Xanxus)
