  I love Wistia, and I also love WordPress.com! It seems like the two would be a match made in heaven. As it stands, without the support of the official WordPress.com embed for Wistia, I can’t embed my amazing videos in to my WordPress.com blog posts.

  Any chance of support for embedding Wistia videos?

  Anyway, I appreciate you hearing me out. Have a really amazing day,

  Conor

  Hey Conor,

  Thanks for the WordPress.com love! Reading over the Wistia docs, it doesn’t seem like there’s a method that will work on WordPress.com just yet. However, I’ll add this to our ideas list for the future!

  Hey again Jeremy! In chatting to a Wistian (Wisti-ite? Wisti-ish?) he said that they’d be pretty excited to work with Automattic on getting Wistia support in WordPress.com.

  I can definitely put you (or another Automattician) in touch with the right person in Wistia if that sounds interesting.

  Thanks!

  Conor

  Hey Conor!

  I believe Andrew has already been in touch with you regarding Wistia embeds, but they’re now supported at WordPress.com! Here’s our related Support page:
