Adding video with pause option

[ZanePrūse]

Hi!

There is a particular storymap created by Esri's StoryMap team where there is a video with pause option.

(Under Step 3: Build your narrative)

I understand that there is an option to add or embed a video by using URL link, but I would prefer video without youtube suggestions (unavoidable at the end of the video if using youtube) or Vimeo logo for Vimeo.

Or add own file from local device, but there is no option to pause those videos (at least as far as I know).

In the storymap from Esri StoryMap team video is added exactly the way I would like to have it in my storymaps - with option to stop the video, no commercial logos of hosting website, no other video suggestions and video returns at starting point.

How Esri StoryMap team achieved it? Thank you for the explanation in advance!

Hi Zane -- The video in the story you referred to is hosted on Vimeo.

However, in the April 2020 release of ArcGIS StoryMaps the ability to upload videos inline in your story narrative was added, so you can give that a try now.
