  Hey there!

  VideoPress is a plug-in that lets you embed and host your own videos on your WordPress blog using a WordPress specific player. It’s super handy! More info is available here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/

  Without using VideoPress you can still host videos, but you would have to embed them from somewhere else (like YouTube or Vimeo). There is a full list of the options and instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

  One more quick update, I did some additional digging for fun. It looks like VideoPress is actually rolled into the Jetpack functionality. However, it is only available for Business and Premium WordPress.com accounts. Without a Premium/Business account you can’t upload videos directly at all, only embed from third party sites.

  I also found the FAQs for VideoPress: https://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/2/

  Thanks very much for your kind help on this matter. I'm trying to teach English via net and trying to organize it. Ry
