Hi thanks for your answer.
What I would like that my video displays on the homepage of my website bastianovando.wordpress.com in the featured content. At the moment I linked the featured content with a page called Hola where I uploaded a placeholder video from youtube. Instead of showing the image of the skyscrapers in the homepage, I would like to have the video that can be played directly from the homepage, without the need to click and go on the post page. Is this possible with this free template?
If not, is there a template that allows this feature on the homepage?
best
Elena

Hi Elena,
What I would like that my video displays on the homepage of my website bastianovando.wordpress.com in the featured content.
The theme you are using doesn’t support video in this way. As timethief mentioned, you can embed a video into the content of your page but not to the featured content area itself.
If not, is there a template that allows this feature on the homepage?
We have a number of these that support video:

Each theme has a demo site which will give an idea of how the video is handled.
The Gateway theme includes a homepage template which provides a specific video area:

I hope that helps!
