Hi, I'm hoping to add audio content onto my StoryMap. On some of the classic StoryMap templates, I was able to use HTML/CSS code to add audio that was being stored elsewhere. I think it is possible to embed SoundCloud audio onto the StoryMaps, but a subscription is required, and as an individual, I am not willing to pay $500 per year for a Creator subscription just to embed audio content. It is important for my StoryMap to display both video and audio, but I'm not sure how best to incorporate the latter without sending users directly to the page where the audio is being stored. Any information would be especially helpful. Thanks! Edwin Ko ... View more

There is an issue where I can no longer input any characters once a reach 1,000 characters on the description panels. I've been mainly using the Side Panel layout, but I find that this issue also exists on the Three Panel and Integrated layouts. I am needing to type in much more than 1,000 characters and find that the Map Tour is the ideal template for my project. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ... View more

I was wondering what it means for the Story Map to be public. Can only people view the Story Map if they have the link (or view it via a website that has embedded the Story Map), or does it get added to a specific collection where other people can see it? (I understand that in order for a Story Map, you would first need to fill out a submission form.) I ask because the Story Map I am building is specifically intended for members of a particular Native community. Because the Story Map contains the voices and stories of members in their ancestral language, privacy issues are a concern that I think will certainly come up among tribal members. Again, thank you for the help and I'd appreciate any information you can share with me. ... View more

This question is similar to Audio not playing in Story Map Tour , but I'm trying to add audio through the Tabbed Story Map Series builder. However, when I type in the following HTML code: < audio controls> < source src = "http://downloads.esri.com/agol/labs/maptour/horse.mp3" type = "audio/mpeg" > < embed height = "50" width = "100" src = "http://downloads.esri.com/agol/labs/maptour/horse.mp3" > </ audio > into the source code, I get the audio player without any content. When I check the HTML code again, the code has been converted into the following: <p> <audio controls=""> </audio> </p> Is there any chance this issue might also be addressed in the mid-September update? In the meantime, I'm using the Story Map Journal, but I would ideally like to use either Story Map Series or Story Map Tour for my project that relies on audio files. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ... View more
