  I have the code for a video I want to publish. I bought wordpress premium to make this happen, but I don’t understand how to do it.

  Can you help?

  Hi there,

  I’m happy to help.

  The VideoPress capabilities that are included with the WordPress.com premium package make it possible to upload videos directly to your site. Is that what you are trying to do? If so, I don’t see the video in your video library.

  I have the code for a video I want to publish.

  This makes me think what you want to do is embed a video that is already hosted elsewhere (a video from YouTube, for example) that is also possible for supported services, but doesn’t require VideoPress capabilities.

  If you paste the code for the video you want to share here, I can help you figure out your next step.

  Thank you! But the video is not hosted by you tube etc. It is a clip I bought from TV, and it can be embedded as a source code or HTML. I don’t understand.

  I’m going to reach out to you in a private e-mail so you can share the code with me rather than the whole forum. If you could respond to the e-mail from there, we’ll see what we can figure out.
