Go for it!
YouTube is yet another source to find those nuggets of information which offer additional information and, at times, myriad perspectives on a lesson. How many of us have sat through a class and secretly prayed for a fire drill or perhaps even an assault by space aliens looking to conquer earth and enslave its inhabitants. We have all been there. The effective teacher is the one who keeps the students wondering what will be on the agenda for the day. Being predictable simply allows for embedding drudgery into the students, and that can make for a very long school year. I think all teachers, regardless their curriculum, might use a YouTube video every now and then to keep the students' mind from wandering on you. Believe me, trying to teach economics and keep it interesting is a chore of the highest degree!
