  I see that I am not able to embed a video that uses iframe code. When I enter the code into the HTML it changes it to a simple text link.

  Is there a way to convert the iframe code to a usable format? I don’t think I can use a plugin because I don’t have the business account.

  Thank you for your help with this!

  Hi,

  See the Videos support page, and choose from the link list the appropriate video library or service. For example, the “YouTube” link opens the WordPress.com YouTube support page. YouTube uses iframe code, but WordPress.com converts the code so that it is simple and straightforward to embed YouTube videos into a post, page, text widget, etc.

  Is there a way to convert the iframe code to a usable format?

  WordPress.com automatically converts the iframe code of YouTube videos. Alternatively, you may embed a YouTube video using the video URL itself, as described in the corresponding support page.
