Hello!

The Personal plan does not include the VideoPress tool, but you can upload and host videos on WordPress.com via the VideoPress tool with a Premium or Business plan: https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

Hi there!

Can I upload videos if I upgrade to a personal plan?

Videos can certainly spruce up a site!

But you will need at least the Premium plan in order to upload your videos. That is explained in:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

An alternative to uploading your videos is to Embed them by linking to a video hosting site such as YouTube. This is discussed in the same document.

best,

If I Embed them will they come up on the page from YouTube or just as a link?

When you embed a video from YouTube, the video will show on your page, so that viewers can watch the video while reading your post.

There are detailed instructions on how to embed a YouTube video available here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

They will show as videos on the page!

For example:
