  Hello,

  I would like to introduce a video in my article. I understand that I need to upgrade to a premium plan to do so. My problem is that I am not so clear about what plan I should chose so that my blog can support videos. I would much appreciate to have some information on that matter.

  Many thanks,

  Marine

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  re: embedding videos
  We embed videos into pages and posts and no upgrade is required unless or until you exceed your free media space allocation. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

  The video embeds in posts and pages that WordPress.com supports for all of our blogs – no upgrade required are found here.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

  Video shortcodes are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/#video

  Note to post your own videos requires a videopress upgrade unless they are on youtube or another source site that is supported and the videopress support doc location is https://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/ As a workaround, keep in mind that you can also upload your media to another service like youtube videos and insert it into your posts from there.

  Example:
  For youtube embedding into wordpress.COM blogs see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  For using the shortcode see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#embedding-with-a-shortcode

  For troubleshooting see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#troubleshooting

  NOTE: If you are trying to embed a youtube channel code that will not work.
