 * flickr is supposed to be one of the supported shortcodes but I cannot get the
   video to work. This is the code I put in:
 * [flickr video=72157634851400919 show_info=no w=500 h=281]
 * The URL of the video is: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/13447745@N05/sets/72157634851400919](http://www.flickr.com/photos/13447745@N05/sets/72157634851400919)

 * There are many plugins that can be used but I prefer to use WordPress functionality.
   That way I also to not have compatibility issues

 * Actually that helped! The shortcode does not work but just embedding does help.
   How can I now remove the video info so as just to show the video?

 * It’s not clear to me from where you want to remove the video info. Can you illustrate
   it with a link or screenshot?

 * It looks like it is embedded there and you may not be able to remove that. Whose
   video is that?
