Upload the video as an attachment (see How to add a picture/attachment to your post) and then put the filename between brackets [media]filename[/media] as explained above.

any idea how to resize a video tp post? I am trying to post a video that is 1.6mb but it says the file is too large to upload. I havent been able to find a way to reduce the size like I can with a picture.
