  Am currently using the Dyad theme.
  https://wordpress.com/themes/dyad

  Just tried to upload my first video into my library to use in a post, and it won’t let me. Tried mp4, .mov…nothing.

  Is it cuz it’s a FREE theme? WTF??

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In order to upload video directly to your WordPress.com site, you would need to purchase the Premium bundle upgrade. https://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ which includes the VideoPress upgrade.

  The free option is to upload your video to a service mentioned here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/ and then follow the linked instructions for the specific service to add the uploaded video to your post.

  Let us know if you have any other question on that.
