I uploaded a .WMV file to You Tube to embed in my new Story Map and I get this error. I'm having no end of trouble getting videos in here. I even tried videos that I have in another classic Story Map that work fine, but they won't work in here, in the sidecar. I've made it all public. Do videos just now work in a sidecar?
Here is the Story Map. Scroll down new the bottom for the video issue. Map:https://wisaard.dahp.wa.gov/portal/apps/storymaps/stories/4dc281a3b29c417c80489e5341ca32b9/edit
Here is where I downloaded the video from: https://youtu.be/iM0a4FhBh4Y
Solved! Go to Solution.
I figured out that I have to use the embed iframe and not the You Tube link.
Hi, can't see the story map as it's not published publicly, however, if I copy the YT link and embed that into a StoryMap of my own, I experience no issues.
As you can see it's embedded within the map story,
I've also added the sidecar down the bottom too.
If all else fails, and thinking of your audience and the devices and network they may view the story map on, you could just provide the link.
From where I am and with the straight forward story map, all should work for you.
Thank you Jonathan for checking. I guess it must be something on my end. I made sure to make it public before I posted my question. It still shows as published and public. Still no luck.
Does seem odd, usually embedded a YT link is one of the simplest things.
Just a thought, the link YT link you posted here (https://youtu.be/iM0a4FhBh4Y) and the link you used to embed into the StoryMap are the same? You've not used another link for the YT content?
Re the publishing, there's perhaps some hosted ESRI content on your page that isn't public, so that needs to be checked.
