Wistia

To embed a video hosted on Wistia within a blog, we'll need to use a slightly different URL than the standard hosting URL you would use to post just the video itself. 

This URL can be found in iframe embed code within Wistia in the Embed & Share menu and Inline Embed. 

The URL will be next to

src="https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/doma3zc7bg?videoFoam=true"

You'll then paste this URL into the inline video embed box inside your blog post:
