    I’ve tried to embed videos on my site using the video media asset. However, the page only displays a link of the video. Clicking it open it in a lightbox type display. Using [embed] also causes this.

    How do I embed videos directly?

    Hey awdburn1!

    Not sure what it could be. What happens when you copy the embed code directly from the youtube page?

    Perhaps it’s being blocked because your using a chinese domain? If so then you can embed the videos directly using HTML5 if you have the video file.

    Send us a WordPress login and we’ll take a look.

    Best regards,
    Elliott

    Hi!

    1. Not sure what it could be. My guess is it’s because of the chinese domain.

    2. I’m not sure about this either. Youtube probably has better compression but I don’t think your going to see much difference between the two. I’m not sure if vimeo is banned in China or not but you could try that as well, https://vimeo.com/, our shortcodes all accept vimeo as well as youtube.

    Regards,
