Embed a video in Map Tour Story Map

[EricMoody]

I've tried adding two videos to a small Map Tour I've put together and not sure if i'm missing a configuration setting for the videos to run within full-size image frame, they currently keep popping in an additional window.

Map Tour points 1 and 3 have the videos...

In YouTube what you can do is go to Embed, and then copy and paste the embed code into the "change media" area where you are changing from a photo to a video.  I hope that helps.

Awesome!!! Worked like a charm!

A quick follow up question…. Is there any way to keep the other video links from popping up after the YouTube video ends???

Thanks again,

Hi Eric -- give this a try. The YouTube interface has changed slightly since this was written, but the option to hide related video links is still there. You just have to click "Show More" from the embedding options.

That did it…. Just what we needed!!!

Thanks for the quick responses!

Take care,

I have the same issue – I usually teach workshops in front of a big group of people, and it is embarrassing to see the “related videos” at the end when mine is done. Plus, when I embed in a story map, I don’t want these “related videos” to appear. Hence I would love to do this too but sadly do not have that choice (in Chrome):

All I have is –

· Show player controls

· Show video title and player actions

· Enable privacy-enhanced mode [?<http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=171780&expand=PrivacyEnhancedMode#privacy>]

Joseph,

I'm not sure why you are not getting that option in the UI. I just checked and saw it in Chrome and Safari (both on a Mac). However, looking at how deselecting that option changes the embed code it looks like you just need to add ?rel=0 to your URL, so you can easily do it manually.

For example:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tqOmAA0HlEM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Hope this helps!

Thanks Owen!  I will just do it manually.  Very good to know.
