Hi,

No it is not penalised. It doesn't add value either though. Unless the video makes your visitors stay on the page longer, then it is a good reason to use them. I use a lot of 3rd party video's on "how to make...." and these are very good for the "Average Time on page" of my visitors so that could be a good reason to put them on. Who made the video? If you are allowed to use them you can also republish them on your own Youtube/Vimeo account and change the video's name etc... and it will be regarded a "new" video.

Good luck! Regards, Tymen
