  The “Get VideoPress” link on https://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/videopress/ is not working.
  I have self hosted wordpress blog with Jetpack installed and connected to my WordPress.com account.
  I have been struggling for 30 minutes with something which is supposed to be simple. Please help.

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

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry for the trouble! The page you found at https://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/videopress/ is out of date (I’ll check with our team about that).

  VideoPress is no longer available as a separate upgrade — you’ll need to purchase WordPress.com Premium to access the VideoPress features.

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that.

  Thank you rachelmcr…
  I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure it out – pretty bad that it is outdated like that. I looked in so many places but NOWHERE was it mentioned that I cannot buy Videopress separately any more.
  I also think it is stupid that it is not available as a separate service, considering that I have no need for the full premium package as I am on a self-hosted blog.
  Do you know if it will even still work with Jetpack & a self hosted site, IF I decide to go with WP Premium?

  I completely understand your frustration, and I’m checking with my team to get that VideoPress information updated.

  The VideoPress features will still work on your self-hosted site if you purchase the Premium upgrade. If you decide to get Premium and run into any trouble with that, please let me know or get in touch with our Jetpack support team and we can take a look.
