  Hi,

  You can upload audio files to your site if you have the WordPress.com Premium or WordPress.com Business plan.

  If you want to upload and host your video files on your blog, you can do that with VideoPress, which is included with the WordPress.com Premium and WordPress.com Business plans.

  Hope these help.

  If you use VideoPress, the video can be downloaded by the viewer from the player’s Share menu.
