  I am very new to WordPress….

  Once I add Buddypress and Videopress, will users have the ability to post videos to their profiles or will I (the administrator) only have the ability to post videos and share them?

  You are confused. The blog linked to your username is a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no BuddyPress here at WordPress.com. BuddyPress is for WordPress.org installs only. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like the one linked to your username and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  I suggest that if these realities are deal breakers for you then your can hire a web host and set up your own self hosted WordPress.org install from http://wordpress.org/
