  Hi,

  I am meant to be hosting a live stream of the San Andreas world premiere as we speak, but wordpress won’t embed this code:
  <iframe width=”640″ height=”360″ scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ src=”http://live.fluxbroadcast.tv/1.0/5559dcad656d6d67ef020000/”></iframe>

  All help appreciated.

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

  You can’t use the <iframe> tag on WordPress.com for security reasons:

  You can find this video on one of these services and embed it to your blog.

  Hope it helps :)

  @kierontownend,

  One possible option would be to stream the video over YouTube as explained here:
