 * I’m looking for a player where my writers can upload a video to a post, insert
   it, and NOT use a shortcode.
 * Shortcodes for video players is like the most extra work that isn’t needed. I
   feel like all the video plugins I’ve tried have been more work than help, so 
   I’m looking for a player plugin that will simply replace the built in player 
   and work with ease.
 * Can this do that?

 * Hello [@franklea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/franklea/)
   With the “Presto
   Video” block, you can easily insert videos into your posts or pages. You will
   get the option “Video URL” or “Add/Select the video”. This way, you can effortlessly
   incorporate videos into your content without the need for shortcodes.Screencast:

   will help. Feel free to ask.
