There are a few different ways I can think of depending on your
preference:
1) You could create a 'videos' page on the Cuis site (this is what I was
thinking) and then create embedded players for each video.  Go to a
video you want to add, click the share link, then the embed tab to get
the html snippet.  The reason to keep this on a separate page is that
YouTube embeds aren't 'lightweight' so it would be polite to keep these
off the main page or you will probably annoy visitors and decrease
traffic to the main Cuis page.  If they click on a videos link
presumably they understand that this might be a heavier page but it is
what they want...
2) Create a YouTube playlist on your YouTube channel.  This is just a
matter of going to each video you want and click the add button and add
it to the playlist (and make sure the playlist is public).  This works
but then there is no linkage between the Cuis page and the playlist
(though you could combine this and item 1 and do an embedded playlist)
3) A YouTube search such as
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cuis+smalltalk will 'sort
of' get you in the ballpark, but probably not what visitors will
want/expect.

Here are a couple of videos that would probably be good to add to the
list:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgIwbx-eDcI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFn4tShalUI

I seem to also recall a general English Cuis overview presentation you
did (also at a Smalltalks conf?) but can't find the link right now...
