Embed Videos into a blog
-
Hi, I am currently trying to embed videos from a specific site, https://3ball.io/, into a blog, but only the links themselves to the videos show up when I preview the post. Below is a link to a specific video I am trying to use, and neither the sole links nor the embedded video code show the video in the blog. Do you have a possible solution? Or are these videos just not compatible with the WordPress interface? Please let me know https://3ball.io/plays/porzingis%20jennings?playId=0021600699_151
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

3ball.io is hosted by Fastly
That site is not on our WordPress.COM servers. You are posting to the wrong support forum.WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.
The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting
(3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support. -

Hey Stubbhub
Are you trying to embed videos FROM 3ball.io into stubbhub.wordpress.com?Best,

Dog jumping on lap may cause premature posting! Anyhow – I tried to put that video in a test blog antry and got this error:
1 file could not be uploaded because the file type is not supported.
This means that WordPress doesn’t allow this TYPE of media file to be embedded.

re: Embedding videos into wordpress.COM hosted sites
NOTE: We embed videos into pages and posts and no upgrade is required unless or until you exceed your free media space allocation. If you upload lots of media including images you can exhaust your free space allocation quickly. Currently, the only way to get an extra space allocation after you upload the images again, is to purchase an upgrade bundle. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/
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/Accepted Filetypes are here https://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/#video
Video shortcodes are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/#video
Full instructions for adding and playing your own videos can be found on the VideoPress support page. http://support.wordpress.com/videopress/
VideoPress is included with the WordPress.com Premium and WordPress.com Business plans.
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.
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
