Hi, is there any way to integrate Instagram Reels in StoryMaps? Thanks so much.

@ChristianeSiegert -- Great question! Could you share more about what you mean by this?

Do you want to embed a reel from Instagram into a story, would you like to create something like a reel from a StoryMap to share on Instagram, or is there something else you're thinking about?

Thanks for the quick reply. We mainly use StoryMaps as a place to merge information from different sources regarding a current topic. A lot of our content is originally created for social media. We recently created an Instagram Reel explaining the postal voting process for the upcomming elections and wanted to embed it into our StoryMap about the elections. Unfortunately this wasn't possible. I'm basically looking for a way to embed vertical video content such es reels or stories.
