  Hi there – I am a volunteer and perhaps I can help.

  On my WordPress.com website, if I want to display a video from YouTube, I copy the URL from YouTube (looks like this: https://youtu.be/7NDvbDLUF8A

  and paste it into the post editor. Then WordPress converts the URL into a video for me.

  Here is an article that may help you further:https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  Hope this helps!

  Also, if you want to make a video available for download, you will need to find another method than the one I pointed you towards.

  Here is a previous thread that may have some clues for you:
