 * Hello,
 * I’m helping a friend move their blog over from wordpress.com to their own host.
   He is familiar with the wordpress.com procedure for posting Google Videos, so
   he uses this:
 * `[googlevideo=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=7038948309822044992]`
 * I’ve been trying to find the plugin (assuming that it is publicly available) 
   that wordpress.com uses to allow its users to embed Google videos (and others,
   I assume) in this manner so that he does not have to learn a new method. Does
   anyone know what this specific plugin is?
 * Thanks so much,
    Jonathan

 * Hi Jonathan
 * Did you figure this one out ?
 * I am in same exact situation, i.e. migrated blog from 2.6.1 to 2.7 and now these
   embed codes no longer work. They are showing as text rather the video ….

 * I’m not aware of a plugin that matches that exactly, but [Viper’s Video Quicktags](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/)
   comes close.
 * You’ll have to modify the code to get it to work with the plugin’s short code.

 * Thanks jdembowski.
 * the blogs hosted on wordpress.com are able to do the embed using the googlevideo
   = syntax like so
    `[googlevideo=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId
   =7038948309822044992]`
 * Then how come the wordpress self hosted release for 2.7 doesn’t have it ?
 * I don’t think I should be required to use a separate plugin to retain existing
   functionality….
 * Anyone ?
