  When we run out of free media storage space that is and always has been our reality. Stand-alone upgrades are no longer possible for new purchases. If you already had this upgrade you would have been able to renew it, but you can’t buy a new one if you’ve never had it.

  If you do not have an active space upgrade that you can renew, then you have to purchase a Premium bundle. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

  As a workaround, keep in mind that you can also upload your media to another service like Google Drive, Flickr, etc. and insert it into your posts from there. https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/#insert-an-image-from-the-web

  If you do have an existing upgrade and you are logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased the upgrade you will be able to renew here http://http://ampersandblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades

  re: embedding videos
  We embed videos into pages and posts. The video embeds in posts and pages 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.
