One way is to upload the video directly to your WordPress site and place it anywhere. However, this is not the best solution due to too much load on your server. A much better idea is to upload the video to an external website such as Vimeo or YouTube, and then place it on your website. We recommend choosing the YT website due to the low failure rate and the speed of loading videos.

Go to YouTube, sign in with your Google account and click the video upload icon in the upper right corner. You will get the URL for your video. In the YT channel, you can also set restrictions on video viewing, commenting and rating the video.
