  Hi there!

  What way are you posting videos now? Are they from YouTube? Or Vimeo? Or some other source?

  Hi thank you
  for responding so quickly. I don’t know how to post videos in any way. Could you recommend a site where I could learn how to post videos.
  Thank you so much.

  All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com
  Search for videos https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=videos

  Step be step instructions for embedding the the video embeds from sources that WordPress.com supports for all of our blogs – no upgrade required are found here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

  Video shortcodes are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/#video

  The VideoPress upgrade included in the Premium upgrade bundle allows you to upload videos from your computer for hosting and playback directly within your blog (or on another site you can designate).
  Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/

  However, if you upload them to youtube or another supported video source site then you do not need the upgrade.

  In order to upload videos directly to your WordPress.com site, you’ll need the VideoPress upgrade which is part of the Premium plan:

  WordPress.com Plans [Redirects to Plans]

  However, you can embed videos from services like YouTube or Vimeo with just the URL to the video.

  Here’s some info about VideoPress which timethief also posted:

  And info about YouTube:

  There are also many other sources we support embeds from, some of them are listed here:
