Can I insert a video clip into a pop-up?

[Yavapai-ApacheNation]

I would like to insert video instead of an image into a popup.  Will it work by simply putting in the URL of the video clip?

On the map? Or the video link I sent? Here it is again.

Judie,

I typed this into the custom config html properties of the popup:

<video controls="true" preload="auto" width="200">

<source src="http://www.yan-culture.org/Images/Map/Community/ER-Cherry.mp4" type="video/mp4">

</source>

</video>

It mostly worked for me. It will take a little bit of tweaking. It would not work in Firefox but it gave me the audio when I did this in Chrome.

I don’t seem to have that custom config link. See my attachment. Am I in the right spot?

You first need to be able to enable popups. What kind of layer is Traditional Foods? It might need to be a feature service layer.

This article might tell more on what needs to be done in order to enable popups:

(and once they're enabled, then you can configure them).

Hmmm. Its a layer I made from Add>Add Map Notes. Probably not the right kind…? All my layers were made that way. Once again, I don’t seem to have enable pop-ups.

Needless to say, I am a Newbie. That was the only way I could figure out to add a layer. So its not a feature service layer?

Yeah, map notes are virtually push pins on a map that do not allow much functionality. You will need one of the supported layers in order to configure popups.

How to I add that kind of layer?

And before you get sick of me… thanks for all your help. You have been wonderful.

No worries!

There are several different ways to add layers. See here:

Add layers—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS

Do you have access to ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap or Pro)? I would publish layers from there (which is what I do). Looking at the popups situation: "You can configure pop-ups in ArcGIS Server service layers, hosted feature layers, hosted tile layers, and layers from files."

So you need some kind of feature layer. Here is an article on publishing a hosted feature layer:

Thank you. I fear now I have made some drastic mistakes. Right now I don’t have access to ARC-GIS yet. Our IT people are slow to get me set up. I will do some studying and see where I land.

Maybe you could make a CSV file if you know the lat/long of the locations. Then that could potentially be your file-loaded layer. It would be worth trying a few locations out on to see if the popups work.
