Why doesn't Safari and safe you tube work with my Storymap?

I created a virtual field trip for teachers. It's fantastic! However, two big issues. Some users are being routed to a log in page when using the link. As far as I can tell, this is limited to those using Safari. It works fine with Chrome and Mozilla. Second issue--teachers have requested I use a safe you tube link for the embedded videos so kids aren't bombarded with ads and questionable content. It's easy to create safe you tube links from a standard you tube link, however StoryMaps does not seem to recognize that link. Any suggestions? THANKS!

A little more info for those who may not be familiar. Safe you tube is for kids--Watch and share YouTube videos safely | teachers and family friendly YouTube It removes ads, links, and suggested videos for educators using you tube with younger students. Educators utilizing my ArcGIS story map have requested I transfer the you tube links over, however, the program does not seem to recognize/support these links. Does anyone know if this is the case, or if there is a way around it? The Safari issue seems to be inconsistent--so not sure that is an actual issue.
