Unable to embed a video in a post
-
Hello.
I recently scheduled a post for 11am GMT this morning. When I initially made the post I embedded a video from music site NPR which showed as intended in the post preview. However when I clicked on the post at 11am this morning for a final proof read the embedded video was showing as a clickable link. I have tried re-embedding the video to the post via HTML and it is still not showing correctly.
The post I am referring to is: https://fruitandgroovescollective.wordpress.com/2018/01/28/watch-george-clinton-bring-p-funk-to-nprs-tiny-desk/
and the video that I wished to embed is: https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=579982124&mediaId=
Would you be able to provide a solution or some further insight in to where the problem lies please?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Sam,
iframes aren’t supported on WordPress.com for security reasons so it won’t be possible to add the video to the post using that method:
If you wish to continue using the Free plan, the video can be uploaded to another service (like Youtube) and embedded on your site. There is a list of supported services here:
Please let me know if you have any questions.
