How to link to YouTube videos with thumbnails?

by

I am brand new to WordPress and find it very confusing. I have a small blog and cannot find a way to easily add a small grid of YouTube thumbnails that link to those videos.

I have looked at all kinds of YouTube plugins (Video Thumbnails, YouTube Gallery, etc), but all of them seem focused on providing tools for the video creators.

I just want a simple table/grid of 3-5 equally-sized cells, displaying the thumbnail and title of a YouTube video, and for the image to be a link to the said video.

Is there a plugin for this? Or do I need to write the HTML myself?

Just to be clear: I am not referring to Post Thumbnails, but a grid or table of thumbnails within the actual page or post.
