  re: Embedding videos into wordpress.COM hosted sites

  NOTE: We embed videos into pages and posts and no upgrade is required unless or until you exceed your free media space allocation. If you upload lots of media including images you can exhaust your free space allocation quickly. Currently, the only way to get an extra space allocation after you upload the images again, is to purchase an upgrade bundle. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

  re: embedding videos
  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/

  Accepted Filetypes are here https://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/#video

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

  Full instructions for adding and playing your own videos can be found on the VideoPress support page. http://support.wordpress.com/videopress/

  VideoPress is included with the WordPress.com Premium and WordPress.com Business plans.

  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.

  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
