  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.
