This post will explore the ability to embed video files that are stored directly in your WordPress blog.

Note: we don’t actually recommend uploading video directly to WordPress, as it takes up precious space. Instead, please consider uploading to an external site like Google Drive or Youtube and simply embed in your blog. There are posts elsewhere on this blog demonstrating these options.
