Inserting video

It’s strange because the edit panel offers the option to insert into video but all it seems to insert is the link.

That’s the standard WP video insert. It doesn’t provide a player as well. You may want to look for a plugin.

I have this problem as well, I tried entering the embed code into the html section and still nothing. Do you just copy and paste it in and save? Do you need to do something else?

If this doesn’t work what sort of plugin do I use and how do I go about using this.

Here is an example

the photos are fine but the video is a link. really annoying me.

help?

thanks
