# Upload & Embed Video

 * Please help! I need to know how to get videos from my computer to my WP blog.
   I’m using a self-hosted WP site.
 * I created a video using Camtasia Studio (for PC). It created a folder with files
   in it. Among these files, the one I want to upload to WP is a .flv video, which
   is about 10MB in size.
 * I tried uploading the video on the back-end via Upload New Media, but WP tells
   me that the file is too big. I don’t see why that matters since I’m using a self-
   hosted WP site.
 * Okay so how on earth do I embed my video to WP. FYI: My .flv video also includes
   closed captions.
 * Please help! I really need to know this.

 * Hi there!
 * Since I never upload large amounts of media to my WordPress much less streaming
   media, I searched around the forums to see if other users might have had experiences
   with your same issue.
 * Please take a look [HERE](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/293019?replies=5).
 * Maybe this is the same issue and maybe this is an issue you need to talk to your
   host about – the max size per WP post?

 * I fixed my problem.
 * I contacted my Web host and they helped me resolve the problem. It was pretty
   easy actually. I had to create a “php.ini” file, and **increase **the “post_max_size”&“
   upload_max_filesize” values within the php.ini file.
 * I know it sounds confusing but if you have a good Web host, they’ll have an easy
   process for doing this.

 * [@linkaq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkaq/): Do you mind to send me
   the html code of “php.ini”?

 * Hey sorry for the late reply. I’m not sure if that’s a safe thing to do? I’ll
   ask my Web host if it’s safe. If you want I’ll send you an image of what the 
   code looks like.
