Hi! I want to post videos and pictures that do not belong to me! I am wondering if it’s okey to put those and write next to it that it do not belong to me and the credit should go to the person who made it! Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
You do not ever want to use anything on your site that belongs to someone else, unless they have given you written authorization to use it.

If it’s available to be embedded, then you can put the YouTube video on your site.
Support document for embedding:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/You could always check out YouTube’s support page for more information regarding their guidelines:

If you were to download the video, then post it as if it’s yours, then that would be a no no for sure.
Please read through the links in my first reply, as there really is a gray area on copyright and what is considered fair use.
