  Good morning,
  It’s fairly easy to add videos to your articles! Here is the help document to help you to do so.

  The biggest thing is that videos are HUGE data files and take up massive amounts of space, so, if you want to upload and host your video files directly on your blog, you can do that with VideoPress, which is included with the WordPress.com Premium and WordPress.com Business plans.

  If you want to add videos without upgrading, you will want to upload your video to ANY of the following programs:
  YouTube
  Vimeo
  Flickr
  Hulu
  Instagram
  Animoto
  AolOn
  CNNMoney Video
  DailyMotion
  Educreations
  The Internet Archive
  TED Talks
  Twitch.tv
  Ustream.tv
  Viddler
  Vine
  Videolog
  Wistia

  So to add a video, upload it to one of these other clients, then copy and paste the URL into your post–the WordPress softward will automatically pull it up from any of the above clients.

  I hope that helps! Have a wonderful day.
