  • @fiyashussain, you have to add a plugin if you are going to add the items directly through the media upload section. If you search the add plugin section for an MP4 player, you can use that to embed the MP4 into your website. Most plugins have a shortcode format that needs to be used in order to embed the videos.

    Alternatively, you can always off-load the stress on your own server and use a service such as YouTube or Vimeo and use their embed codes. WordPress should convert the embed code from YouTube and Vimeo to show your video without any plugins. Please note that you have to agree to their service terms and conditions. Hope that helps.

    Hi @jv8080

    Mine is an Intranet website so no internet.

    And could you suggest a MP4 player

    Thanks

    Hi again,

    I did a little bit of searching because I remember being able to embed videos uploaded to WordPress directly and I remember that they added the feature before version 4. So you should be able to embed the video using the embed codes for WordPress. Please take a look at the link provided below:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Video_Shortcode

    Can you try that out and see if embedding using the video embed code? If not, there is probably something else that is wrong.

    Best,

    Joaquin
