  Hi Marc!

  There are two main ways to add videos to your site:

  1. You can purchase and use our VideoPress upgrade, which is described here:

     VideoPress

     That will allow you to upload videos directly to your WordPress.com site.

  2. The other option would be to embed a video hosted elsewhere. We support embeds from a variety of programs including YouTube and Vimeo. The full list is here:

  The option is really dependent on whether you want to upload the files directly to your site or not.

  If you choose to go the VideoPress route, I would recommend just upgrading to the Premium bundle (happy to help you do that) since it will encompass all of your current upgrades and the VideoPress upgrade at a lower price than purchasing them all individually:

  Here’s a breakdown if you’re interested:

  Domain Registration + Mapping =$18
  Custom Design = $30
  VideoPress = $60
  Total = $108

  Premium bundle (includes everything) = $99
