  i was able to have my videos in my blog using the media load using url code. not it doesn’t work, its embed it but when i go to the blog to see it the video doesn’t appear. i have also tried to use the auto-embed so i copy paste the link, i make sure is NOT link but nothing happens. when i look the actual bog i see the link in black so i assume that the video is not being embed. I dont know what else i can do.
  Blog url: http://andreacalle.wordpress.com/

  Can you send me a link to post where that doesn’t work?

  With YouTube videos, you can just add the link to the video when your drafting your post in your Visual Editor. Please see http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ for more information.

  It looks like you’re using a user profile-based URL.

  It needs to be the actual video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c2mgRtB1V4
