For anyone who experienced the problem of Dailymotion not working in WordPress using the Visual Mode, I worked with support to find a solution.  As of now, changes to the code  allow the instructions that you read here to work.  The below steps are pasted from that article.

Briefly you have to:

In your web browser’s address bar, copy the highlighted portion of the video’s URL illustrated below (this is the video’s ID):

In this example, the ID would be x8oma9, as you can see above.

Create a new post or page on your blog (or open an existing post or page in editing mode) and add the following shortcode directly to the visual editor. Replace the x8oma9 video ID with the one you are using.

Before I worked with support, this would work only in HTML mode, but not in Visual mode.  Now it is working in both Visual and HTML mode.  WordPress was very responsive when I brought this to their attention.  Now an entire new world of vlogs are open to us!

Sometimes as an end user you have to contact the developer and let them know bugs exist and they are happy and grateful to find them out.  Whenever there isn’t specific instructions, normally customer support will be able to help you.  I have worked as a Quality Assurance tester in the past and seeing progress is great.  I think anyone who uses WP would agree we have many things to be thankful being here.
