Uploading Issue
-
I’m trying to upload a video from youtube into my blog. I use to be able to do this before my wordpress updated. Now it just says ‘The file could not be uploaded because the file type is not supported.’ Is there a way that this can be fixed without upgrading to the ‘premium plan?’ I’m a college student and can’t afford that… plus I have no where near enough followers to make it worth it.

Do you mean embedding? If so, you can just paste the link of the Youtube video, and the video will show on your post.

You did not state the video source or provide the URL do I have to use an example. When there is only a link and no video displayed, and you are embedding a video from a source that is supported by wordpress.com, that’s on you. Go to the relevant video troubleshooting section (example below) and you will find your solution.
The video embeds 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.
If you still have issues with a specific video please provide the video URL and also the URL of the post.
