  I want to embed videos from skipi.tv which hosts my film reviews. Clean content. How can I do this? Can they be added to the list? Or do I need to go Premium. If I do go Premium would that even work? I want to embed, not host (i.e. not with VideoPress).

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

  Upgrading to Premium will not change what sites you can embed videos from.

  I’ve moved this forum thread to the Ideas forum and tagged it for Staff as a feature request, but there is no timeline as to if and when that might happen.

  Hi there,

  In order to allow embeds from a particular service we need that service to support the oEmbed protocol, so you might want to consider contacting support at skipi.tv and asking them if they do support it, and to reach out to us directly if they do. That might help getting support for this added faster, though I can’t make any promises.

  They’ll be able to find more information on our requirements in this regard here:

  Thanks kokkieh. Is this the best place for skipi.tv to “reach out directly”?

  On that developer page is a contact form. Once they have support for oEmbed in place, they can contact our developer team directly via that form.
