  I tried using this Ustream shortcode on my WP blog:
  <object width=”480″ height=”296″ classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″>
  <param name=”flashvars” value=”vid=16226818&autoplay=false”/>
  <param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true”/>
  <param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”/>
  <param name=”src” value=”http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf”/>
  <embed flashvars=”vid=16226818&autoplay=false” width=”480″ height=”296″ allowfullscreen=”true” allowscriptaccess=”always” src=”http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”></embed>
  </object>

  Video streaming by Ustream

  But all I get is a little window with the code letters inside it on my blog page. The window does appear to be what a video would appear within (with one of those sliding thingies across the bottom for going forward or back).

  Also trying to use this shortcode from Soundcloud:
  soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/19329927?secret_token=s-I8YUF” params=”auto_play=false&player_type=tiny&font=Arial&color=005ef7″ width=”100%” height=”18″

  Again, I just get the code letters on my page.

  Can you help?

  Unfortunately, we cannot allow that type of code for security reasons.

  You can embed videos from any of the providers listed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

  As for Soundcloud, make sure that you’re following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/soundcloud-audio-player/
