  If you want to add a video from youtube.com or vimeo.com, all you need is to post the URL of the video in your post or page.

  The MEDIA BUTTON to be used when you want to upload an image or a video from your own computer, not the internet.

  In your post or page insert the url of the video only, for i.e.

  http://vimeo.com/56180473

  You are using the wrong approach. The guide for posting youtubes in posts and pages is found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/
  I suggest using the youtube shortcode as described here.

  if you insist upon embedding with the URL: then see the troubleshooting section here http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#troubleshooting

  Thank you for the replies. :) Seems like I didn’t notice that my links are hyperlinked, that’s why my vids wont showed up. Thanks for the help.
