I have tried embedding video using the parameters that remove controls and autoplay with looping. When I use YouTube, it still shows the play button. Any tricks to getting all controls to be invisible? I want it to autoplay and fill the frame wth no controls at all - similar to the appearance in this Cascade story map called Justice Deferred.

HI Allison -- Currently the Story Map Builders do not support URL parameters for video links, but we are considering adding this in an upcoming release. For now, you can follow the procedure outlined in this Geonet thread to add a video with URL parameters.
However, be aware that browsers (currently Chrome and Safari, but others are likely to follow) are blocking videos with sound that are set to autoplay. See this article on the Google Chrome developer site for more info. If the reader doesn't have a history of interacting with content or if they don't interact with your story by clicking on the page before reaching the video (for example, if the video is in the home section of a Journal), the video won't autoplay even if you add that URL parameter.
Thanks, Owen Evan. So is Justice Deferred using custom code? It is not in the customized list in the gallery, so I thought it was using out-of-the-box functionality. That story map opens with an autoplay video (without audio).
Hi Alison -- Justice Deferred is a Cascade, which supports autoplaying video. At this time, Cascade is the only Story Map that supports configuring autoplaying videos in the builder. If you'd like to autoplay a video in Journal or Series, you'll need to use the workaround mentioned above.
Ok. Thanks so much.
