Thanks to user requests and some kind engineers, we’re thrilled to report that TED’s embeddable video player now works with WordPress.com.

You can embed TEDTalks following the instructions at the support site:

Visit TED and locate the talk you would like to embed in your blog.

Click on the red “Share” button at the bottom of the player window.

Copy the “Link to this talk” URL or the video’s ID number from the overlay window. Use that in one of the following shortcodes:

[ted id=http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/319]

or

[ted id=319]

Publish the post or page.
