  I am looking to Embed video from CBS website.
  The site provides either a link or embed code to share the video.
  Every time I add the embed code wordpress removes it.

  I saw the list of supported website for embeding videos.
  “We currently support embedding videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, Flickr, DailyMotion, Viddler, Blip.tv, TED Talks, Educreations, Instagram, Vine, and Videolog.”

  Does this mean I can not embed a video from any other site?
  Below is the link of the video I am trying to embed

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

  You can embed it if you convert the embed code into a gigya shortcode:
  [gigya src="http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/atlantis2/cbsnews_player_embed.swf" background="#333333" width="425" height="279" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" FlashVars="si=254&&contentValue=50153672&shareUrl=http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50153672n" ]

  For more on this, see this post of mine:
