Map Journal Builder Youtube autoplay & loop only works in edit mode

Hi,

I am trying to get an embedded (iFrame) youtube video to autoplay and loop. I can make it work perfectly in an editing session in the Map Journal Builder, but when I test the published story map(ex. click View Story) it doesn't work. It just shows a regular Youtube player with a Play button. Any idea why this may be -and if there is a solution I can apply?

The iframe I use looks like below. I have emphasized in bold the parameters I have added in order to implement autoplay and loop:

Thanks in advance,

Rikke
