  Hi keelyjadepasfield,

  I would suggest using a 3rd party site like YouTube or Vimeo to upload your videos and embed them into your WordPress Blog. It won’t take up your WordPress storage. It’ll only take up storage if it’s stored in your media library.
  it’s as simple as grabbing the URL of your videos and pasting it a video block or shortcode.

  You will need a WordPress business plan or better to use video blocks/ shortcode.
