  Hi there,

  I’m sorry for the trouble. Are you using the post editor at https://wordpress.com/post/ to add and select your video? And are you selecting the video you uploaded with the file name bringing-the-stories-to-light.wmv?

  After you select your video, if you click the blue “Insert into post” button in the bottom right, what happens next?

  I’d like to get that working for you, but if that still doesn’t work, here’s a way you can add your video to the page in the meantime:

  After you select “Add Media” and select your video, you’ll see a section titled “ATTACHMENT DETAILS” on the right. You can scroll down near the bottom of that section. Just above the Preview image, you’ll see a “Shortcode” line. That shortcode will look something like this:

  [wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7]

  You can copy that shortcode and paste it into the page where you want to add your video. You can use that as a workaround until we get the “Add Media” section working for you.

  Hey, I got it figured. Instead of embedding the video I click on putting it in a link and it’s working wonderfully. Thank you for your time :)
