Adding video from your computer

To upload and post to your blog a video from your computer, click the Add
Video icon on the Edit Post or Add New Post page. Then follow these steps:

1. Click the Choose Files to Upload button.

An Open dialog box appears.
2. Select the video file that you want to upload and click Open (or simply
double-click the filename).
The file uploader window in WordPress appears, which shows a progress bar while your video uploads. When the upload is complete, a dialog box that contains several options opens.
3. Type a title for the file in the Title text box.
4. Type a caption for the file in the Caption text box.
5. Type a description of the file in the Description text box.
6. Click the File URL button.
Clicking this button provides a direct link in your post to the video file
itself.
7. Click Insert into Post.
WordPress doesn’t embed a video player in the post, it inserts only
a link to the video; however, if you have the Auto-Embed feature acti-
vated, WordPress attempts to embed the video within a video player. If
WordPress cannot embed a video player, it displays the link that your
visitors will have to click in order to open the video in a new window to
view it.
