  Hi,
  Please find as an example a link to a VEVO video :

  http://www.vevo.com/watch/GBA321400045

  To embed on a site, VEVO is giving following :

  – Short Link : http://vevo.ly/hwPxdK

  Or Embed Code :
  <iframe width=”575″ height=”324″ src=”http://cache.vevo.com/m/html/embed.html?video=GBA321400045″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

  As, I will probably publish video on VEVO, I would like to know, if it’s possible to embed them on my currently site in construction here on WordPress.com. Please note that my site is not yet public, but is still on private status during this construction period.

  Thanks for your help,
  DvisMusic

  There is currently no way to embed VEVO videos on WordPress.com because we do not allow certain tags on WordPress.com for security reasons, including JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags. These restrictions are in place to prevent any disruptions in service due to potentially malicious code.

  You can read more about this here:

  If you publish with them and it also ends up on youtube, you could embed the youtube video using these instructions:

  But if your video will only be on VEVO, then that will not be of much help.

  Hi,
  So it’s not possible to embed Vevo video for security reason.
  I understand this WordPress.com approach to avoid any problem.
  Thanks for your clear explanation, I will probably use Youtube video instead…
