Description
We offer a set of videos under the "Blogging Quick Start" branding. These are seen on this page:
https://wordpress.com/home/domain.wordpress.com?courseSlug=blogging-quick-start
You can navigate to that page via this modal on Calypso home:

The videos on that page are using the normal video block ([VideosUi component](https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/blob/trunk/client/components/videos-ui/index.jsx)) at the moment, but it'd be nice to switch this to VideoPress. I have located that the relevant code starts here:

Research direction
Start in client/my-sites/customer-home/cards/education/blogging-quick-start/blogging-quick-start-modal.jsx, then inspect the VideosUi component in client/components/videos-ui/index.jsx. Trace how the Blogging Quick Start videos are currently rendered and identify the VideoPress integration point. Done means the videos on the linked Blogging Quick Start page use VideoPress instead of the normal video block.
