How to Insert an MP4 Video on WordPress

1. Click on the 'Add Video' icon above the post editor toolbar. The icon is shaped like a filmstrip. Once the icon is clicked the 'Add Video' dialog will appear.
2. Select whether you want to upload your video from your computer or embed it from a URL. If you are uploading click 'Select Files' to browse your local folders. Do not close the dialog until the upload is complete. If you are linking an online video source paste the URL into the 'Video URL' field. Click 'Insert Into Post' when complete.

3. Click the 'Preview' button to see how the video will look on your blog post. Make sure that the player is functioning correctly. Once you have added all the content you need to your post click 'Publish.'
