video embed function

  • Unknown's avatar

    Dear support,

    I am using the free version of wordpress. When I tried to paste the video embed code to my wordpress page , for example Youtube, <iframe … it does work. After the page is saved, I can see the Youtube video can be displayed and played on the page. No problem.

    However, if I tried to paste the video embed code to my wordpress page, for example from Chinese streaming platforms such as bilibili , Youku, Tencent qq, tudou, 56, sohu (check the code at below), the video can NOT be displayed or can NOT played on the page.

    May I know why is that? Is there any way I can fix it?

    I have another wordpress account which is PAID. If I paste the embed video code (from Chinese streaming platforms), it does WORKS. The video can can be displayed or played normally.

    So, the problem of embed video code can’t be played, is it related to the PAID or FREE account?
    Thank you very much.

    Example 1,

  • Hi there,

    On WordPress.com we don’t support embedding videos from all the platforms. Here’s a list of all the supported video platforms:

    YouTube
    Vimeo
    Facebook
    Flickr
    Instagram
    Animoto
    DailyMotion
    Educreations
    SproutVideo
    The Internet Archive
    TED Talks
    Twitch.tv
    Wistia

    The only exception is our Business and eCommerce plans. If you upgrade to any of those plans you’ll be able to embed almost any code that you like.
