  I have tried to add a number of videos to my website. But they either take people away from the site and leave them on YouTube which I do not want or they appear as black with no image until you press the play button

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

  Hello @dandycullum,

  Unfortunately, I’m not able to reproduce the issue as I see no videos currently embedded on buildaparttimebuisiness.wordpress.com. I’ve tried this on my own site and am able to view the videos just fine on my own blog.

  Please take a look at:

  If you are still encountering the issue after following those instructions, please do let us know. I’m happy to help!

  Hi –

  Please share an example that’s not working so I can take a closer look.

  It’d be great if you can add the link or embed code directly here, you may need to use the block quotes to keep it from rendering.

  Are you adding these to a specific page or post?
