  Hello,
  What is the best way to upload a video onto my site? I am reading different comments all over the internet about the difference between uploading videos and embedding them. I do not know which is the best option or how to do either. Would I have to upgrade my plan to add videos to my site?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Uploading video files to your site is only possible with the Premium and Business plans. Embedding videos, on the other hand, doesn’t require an upgrade. You can embed a video by pasting its address in your post. If it’s a YouTube video, for example, you just copy the address (let’s say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-jnftESRJE) and paste it in your post.
  Regarding what’s the better option – hosting video files or embedding videos – I can’t really say :) As you said, there are a lot of considerations. One important consideration is copyrights infringements. Generally, you are safer on that front if you choose to embed. Another advantage is that you don’t have to upgrade… :)

  I hope this helps a bit! (By the way — I really like the photos on your blog!)
