  I want to embed a friend’s video so it will be on my page vs having to click the link and go to her site. How do I do that? Thanks

  We embed videos into pages and posts. 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

  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/

  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

  NOTE: If you are trying to embed a youtube channel code that will not work.
