  How can I post TED video on my site using WordPress? As I have tried to insert the code, but nothing happens. Hope to receive some advice. Thank you.

  No, the code won’t work to embed for WordPress.com. You need to have software that can capture the TED video for your desktop. MAC has many tools like that. Then, since the TED presentations tend to be rather lengthy, you need to fiddle around with the downloaded video so that it’s small enough (@ 75 mg max) to be uploaded as a WordPress video. Just as an example for you, here’s one that’s contained in an article that I posted last month. Sandor Teszler: The Story of a Passionate Life:
