 * Hi,
    I am not able to see in the Format of New Post video option (Some older 
   posts show video option). The Format at present shows only these
    - Standard
    -  Aside
    -  Image
    -  Link
    -  Quote
    -  Status
 * I believe besides ‘Video’ I ought to be seeing Audio & Chat too.
    After Google
   Search I found that I need to add this to the functions.php
 *     ```
       add_theme_support('post-formats',
       array( 'aside', 'gallery','link','image','quote','status','video
       ','audio','chat' ) );
       ```
   
 * This does not help.
 * I am using twentytwelvechild theme. All plugins are updated.
 * Will you please guide me?

 * You can try posting just the link of the video if you are using videos from sites
   such as YouTube:

 * Hi,
    Thank you Krishna.
 * What I mean is on the Edit Post or New Post in the ‘Format’, radio button for
   video is not seen.
 * Do you want me to post the link of the video?
    `http://mydoctortells.com/[removed]-
   video/` (NSFW) This is the link on my website
 * Videos with YouTube embed code can be played on the post.
    Videos with oEmbed
   in the native WordPress code as in `[video width="768" height="576" mp4="http://
   mydoctortells.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/[removed].mp4"][/video]` cannot 
   be played on the post.
 * Thanks for your attention.

 * If you are inserting video from video from media library, follow the same procedure
   for inserting images:

 * Hi,
    Thanks Krishna. I get your point. I have no difficulty displaying video 
   from YouTube. Uploaded videos as per the link above do not play on my site. I
   use twentytwelvechild theme.
 * My issue is that on the right side of the Edit Post there are options
    in **Format**
   below the Publish and above the Categories
    -  Standard
    -  Aside
    -  Image
    -  Link
    -  Quote
    -  Status
 * Among these **‘Video’** is not seen.
    My themes are updated so are my WordPress
   and plugins. What do I need to change or correct so that in the list under Format
   I can see the **radio button Video** too?
 * Thanks for your time and patience,
    Dr. Ashok Koparday

 * Hi,
    I use **Add Media** and it uploads images as well as video. I do not require
   to use link or img.
 * Images and Videos are visible on the website. No problem there.
    What I am saying
   is I can see all these options in admin panel under Settings in **Write Settings****
   Default Post Format ** Standard Aside Chat Gallery Link Image Quote Status Video
   Audio However, on the “New Post” and “Edit Post” **under Format ‘video’, ‘audio’,‘
   chat’ are not seen.
 * Thanks,
    Dr. Ashok Koparday
