Trying to add Plugin
-
Hi, I am trying to add a plugin and I do not see the plugin label on my dashboard. I am a newbie and at the current time using a free plan. Is it possible I don’t see one because I am using a free plan and if not can you walk me through how to find it on my dashboard since it’s not located under appearance? The plugin I am trying to add is a Video plugin so I can add videos but separately from my posts or pages if I choose to.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no FTP access https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/ and no blogger installed plugin capability. There never has been as blogger installed plugins as they are not permitted here at WordPress.com for various security reasons. No upgrade changes that reality. https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
If you feel you need blogger installed plugins as that’s not possible here at wordpress.COM, this guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site

Video plugin so I can add videos but separately from my posts or pages if I choose to
The video embeds in posts and pages that WordPress.com supports for all of our blogs – no upgrade required are found here.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/Video shortcodes are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/#video
Note to post your own videos requires a videopress upgrade unless they are on youtube or another source site that is supported and the videopress support doc location is https://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/
Example:
For youtube embedding into wordpress.COM blogs see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/For using the shortcode see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#embedding-with-a-shortcode
For troubleshooting see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#troubleshooting
NOTE: If you are trying to embed a youtube channel code that will not work.

We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hostingAlso, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
As you are referring to setting up a site with plugins it will be a wordpress.ORG install. If you do not have a wordpress.ORG account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

So that I understand, I would need to go to that site, download WordPress from there and its possible I can get a plugin so that I can list videos separately without using a page? or it’s as you said before it’s not possible to do what I am asking at all.

I can list videos separately without using a page
Videos can be embedded into posts or pages.
Links to videos can be placed into posts or pages.
Please clarify exactly what you want to do. -

I didn’t see your post before I submitted my response. Don’t want you to think I was ungrateful for the help but, I just decided to do it on a page to avoid the hassle. Again thank you.
