  Hi there!

  I’ve been trying to embed video on a blog I freelance for and while the Youtube video pops up in the preview, whenever I press play in Preview it shows an error with Playback ID FHIUyfN2-ix8rR3r .

  I’ve tried a few workaround methods in Text but nothing seems to be working right. Any help would be so appreciated!

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

  NOTE: We embed videos into pages and posts and no upgrade is required unless or until you exceed your free media space allocation. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

  That video is from a supported source. However, if you upload lots of media including videos and images you may have exhausted your free media space allocation. Check here http://abearandhisgirl.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

  re: embedding videos
  The video embeds in posts and pages 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 and you must use the format provided without adding or subtracting anything.

  Example:
  For youtube embedding into wordpress.COM blogs see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  For using the shortcode see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#embedding-with-a-shortcode

  For troubleshooting see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#troubleshooting

  Additional information:
  Note to post your own videos requires a videopress upgrade unless they are on youtube or another source site that is supported and the videopress support doc location is https://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/ As a workaround, keep in mind that you can also upload your media to another service like youtube videos and insert it into your posts from there.

  Rats! The forum software removed part of the code.
