@RyanMitchell2 with regards to a map's pop up, what are you looking to display in the pop up: the URL as text, the URL as a clickable link so the viewer can open the video in another browser tab at full-size, or do you want the video at the URL embedded in the pop up and played when the user opens the pop up? If the latter, embed a video in your web map's popup, then you can use the HTML <video> tag for compatibly-hosted video files. For an example, check out this StoryMap: Display videos in web map pop up: How to embed videos using a URL field. As for Map tours and Sidecars, I do not know of way to leverage the <video> tag directly. Though, you can embed a web map in a Sidecar that uses the <video> tag in its pop ups. Hope that helps. ...

@JenMcRuer when you have a lot of points in a Map Tour, the user experience can be very poor. Especially if the part you are relying on is a user navigating the list of points by scrolling. Imagine a user's experience when you have 1000 survey entries listed, and they need to scroll down to find the 721st survey entry. Ugh! You don't say what your trying to achieve overall in your post in terms of user scenarios, however, I would guess it is not the navigation of the list of 1000 survey entries a Map Tour provides. Rather, perhaps you are interested in the user experience that the map part of a Map Tour provides? Where a user can pan and zoom the map to view data, and can click on points on the map to view more information about specific entry? If that is the case, and you did mention Dashboards, have you considered using a Dashboard, instead of Map Tour? You could use a Dashboard to provide a similar user experience as that provided by the map part of a Map Tour, and then embed the Dashboard in your StoryMap in place of the Map Tour block (assuming there is more to your story than just the Map Tour.) For example, create a Dashboard and add a Map and a Detail element, both pointing to your data. Then configure the Map and Layer actions for the Map to (1) drive the Detail element to only appear when a point is selected on the Map, (2) show the selected point's data, and (3) to disable the popup on the Map so you aren't showing duplicate data. Then when a user is exploring your data on your map, they can click on a point to view its details. Below is a visual example from a student project on tracking balloon debris in the Great Lakes region. A survey with 922 records when it ended. By selecting points on the middle-bottom map a user drives what is displayed on the right: ... View more

The solution for New Map Viewer Set Default Extent put me on the right track when I ran into this same issue.  With the new Map Viewer also comes a new way of defining the initial or home view of your web map, the viewpoint.  So now you need to set the viewpoint parameter in the item's data, rather than its extent in  item_properties. In your example, you can use get_data to view your item's current viewpoint, e.g.,  wm_item.get_data() { 'operationalLayers': [], 'baseMap': { 'baseMapLayers': [{ 'id': 'World_Hillshade_3805', 'opacity': 1, 'title': 'World Hillshade', 'url': 'https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Elevation/World_Hillshade/MapServer', 'visibility': True, 'layerType': 'ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer' }, { 'id': 'VectorTile_2333', 'opacity': 1, 'title': 'World Topographic Map', 'visibility': True, 'layerType': 'VectorTileLayer', 'styleUrl': 'https://cdn.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/7dc6cea0b1764a1f9af2e679f642f0f5/resources/styles/root.json' }], 'title': 'Topographic' }, 'authoringApp': 'ArcGISMapViewer', 'authoringAppVersion': '2023.2', 'initialState': { 'viewpoint': { 'targetGeometry': { 'spatialReference': { 'latestWkid': 3857, 'wkid': 102100 }, 'xmin': -9363110.186797503, 'ymin': 5143763.742527973, 'xmax': -9274213.922901962, 'ymax': 5258113.536842443 } } }, 'spatialReference': { 'latestWkid': 3857, 'wkid': 102100 }, 'timeZone': 'system', 'version': '2.29' } You can store the item's data in a dictionary, then modify the targetGeometry, e.g., data_dict = wm_item.get_data() data_dict['initialState']['viewpoint']['targetGeometry']['xmin'] = -11363110.186797503 data_dict['initialState']['viewpoint']['targetGeometry']['ymin'] = 5143763.742527973 data_dict['initialState']['viewpoint']['targetGeometry']['xmax'] = -11274213.922901962 data_dict['initialState']['viewpoint']['targetGeometry']['ymax'] = 5258113.536842443 Then use update to save your new viewpoint, updating the item's data, rather than its item_properties, e.g.,  web_map_item.update( data = data_dict ) You might still want to set the extent property for the web map, as it is supposedly still used in searching/filtering items by location. I usually set both the viewpoint and extent now.     ... View more
