Steps to reproduce the issue

  • upgrade to Premium or Professional on a site
  • go to Dashboard > Plans
  • Scroll down to the "Video Hosting" panel, and click the button to "Upload Videos Now" (you might need to activate it first).

What I expected

I expected to go somewhere that I could upload a video straight away (or maybe even just be prompted for my video file right there?

What happened instead

I'm taken to /wp-admin/upload.php, which depending on what I've been using, might default to List view. If it does show List view, then the link at the top (Add New) takes me to /wp-admin/media-new.php, which doesn't allow me to upload video (because of integration problems).

We should make the link on the button point directly, and explicitly, to grid mode: /wp-admin/upload.php?mode=grid to try to avoid that confusion.
