Embedding Videos
-
I’m trying to embed a video onto one of my posts. The video URL is http://globalnews.ca/video/embed/2518693/ and I’m having no luck getting it to play on my site.

https://alexwblackblog.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.
What is the exact URL starting with http:// of your active site please?
I’m asking because we cannot accurately answer questions posted here until we have confirmed the URL referred to and verified the hosting. -

Below is your video’s embed code,
<iframe src=”http://globalnews.ca/video/embed/2518693/” width=”670″ height=”437″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
This code is showing after click on share button.
insert this code in any of your blog post.

Have you tested the html snippet you have provided above? It doesn’t display the player, rather a link to the video. This is because WordPress.com strips the iframe. iframe is one of the disallowed html tags on WordPress.com. You can check about other prohibited code here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
The video OP wanted to use is not using one of the supported players listed on Videos support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/ This is why the player is not displayed but only a link is shown.

See if it is possible to download the video and uploaded it to one of the video services listed on Videos support guide I linked above. That way you will be able to show the player. In its current form, you can only show a link. -
