  None of the boxes has been checked. File formats that I uploaded to Flickr are .wmv and .avi.

  The file below is wmv.

  The file below is .avi.

  Neither of them on Flickr worked.

  WordPress instruction on how to upload Flickr video is wrong. Follow my instruction that I found out.

  Click Add Media from a blog.
  Then select Insert from URL.

  Then it will show on a blog as follows, not the way WordPress said on the instruction page.
  [embed]https://www.flickr.com/photos/109861645@N04/14509450642/[/embed]

  But I still don’t know how to customize the size (width and height). The way WordPress instruction says does not work. I already tried.

  Hi there,

  Thanks for posting that update! I’m not sure why that method works for you and the other doesn’t, but I’m glad that embed is working. However, the width and height customizations will only work using the Flickr-specific embed code here: Flickr Video

  I’ll let our developers know about that to see if it helps them determine why the Flickr embed code isn’t working for you.
