  I had no problem with those on youtube. But google videos simply refuse to embed. I have tried all options as listed in FAQ.. have cleared cache as well. But it isn’t working. Can somebody please let me know what the correct steps are.

  Which google video are you trying to put in? Are you using Embed code, or are you using the square bracket code?

  Any google video. Take for instance this one..

  <embed id=”VideoPlayback” style=”width:400px;height:326px” flashvars=”” src=”http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=4206609470374829175&hl=en” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”> </embed>

  This code isn’t embedding it… neither is the URL.

  You can’t embed or use shockwave flash on a wordpress.com blog. Have you tried this?
