Story Maps default autoplay speed

MelissaBrooks — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 21:59:56 GMT

The &autoplay parameter when using the "kiosk" mode should have the option to have the slow (or fast) mode by default (or even a speed value parameter). Each refresh of the page makes it go back to "Medium" this can be frustrating. Can this parameter have more options please?

@MelissaBrooks Sorry, we didn't see this idea earlier because it was posted to the ArcGIS Online ideas board. I just moved it to the ArcGIS StoryMaps ideas board.

This is already available. You can use the "speed" parameter in any bookmarks you have to set the speed for autoplay. Slow = 1/2x, medium = 1x, and fast = 2x. Be sure to also include the "play" parameter as well. For example:

https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/c87bc0a59c0144008e25d50a5dd1b192?play&speed=slow

After autoplay started, the speed can also easily be updated from the control panel that appears when you move the mouse.
