Do you have videos hosted on the WordPress.com service with the VideoPress upgrade, but want an easy way to use those videos on your self-hosted WordPress.org site? Then you've come to the right place.

This plugin provides an easy way for you to manage and embed videos hosted on the WordPress.com service with the VideoPress upgrade from your self hosted WordPress.org powered site. It allows you to click a button to login to your WordPress.com video blog, then grab the [videopress xyz] shortcode, and insert it into your post. You can specify the width and height with w= h= syntax. Eg: the following are all valid shortcodes:

[videopress xyz] uses your default theme content_width if present, otherwise uses 400px as width.

[videopress xyz w=640] specifies the width of video to be 640px, while preserving the aspect ratio.

[videopress xyz w=640 h=360] specifies both width and height

[videopress xyz h=300] specifies the height of the video to be 300px, while preserving the aspect ratio.

You'll need an account on WordPress.com with the VideoPress upgrade in order to use this plugin. If you don't have already one signing up is easy and only takes a few minutes. Then go to the "Upgrades" section of wp-admin on you new WordPress.com blog and purchase a VideoPress upgrade.
