Hi Lindsay -- Unfortunately, Cascade does not currently support YouTube videos when the app is self-hosted or hosted on an Enterprise portal. We are looking at supporting this in 10.6.1 (or possibly a 10.6 patch). When this is implemented an administrator will need to add your own YouTube API key to a configuration file in the Cascade app on your portal. ... View more

Hi Meredith -- Sorry Cascade is giving you trouble while adding those images. Would you be able to share the images here so I can take a look? Cascade is a responsive app, meaning that it will change the layout of content to fit the browser/device window size. So when you add more than one image to a row Cascade may resize/rearrange them images. Your best bet to make a row of uniform images that always looks like a uniform row of images is to combine your map images into a single image in an image editing app, and then add that to your Cascade story. ...

Lindsay -- Sorry you are having an issue with Cascade on your Enterprise portal. Can you share the link of the YouTube video you are trying to embed so we can test it? Can you confirm that you can open the video in a regular browser and that YouTube isn't blocked by your organization's IT department? ... View more

Hi Thomas -- Can you provide a little more information? Where do the images appear in your story (in a map pop-up in the main stage, side panel?) and where/how are they hosted? Do you have an example link to one of the webcams you can share here? ... View more

Elizabeth -- Since Journal and Series work somewhat differently, you'll need to know JavaScript to adapt the sample in that article to work with Series. ... View more

Hi Elizabeth -- Unfortunately, that's not supported in the Map Series builder right now. We are considering that enhancement for a future update, but we currently don't have a specific date when we plan to add it. You can create that sort of experience if you are able/willing to customize the application code and host it on your own web server. We have an article on our developer blog that shows you how to do something similar for Story Map Journal, so you could consider looking at that. The article includes sample code, so you don't have to know JavaScript to be able to make the customization. For the situation you described, Map Journal might work just as well. https://developerscorner.storymaps.arcgis.com/navigate-map-journal-sections-using-the-mainstage-map-ab827a105d0c  Owen ...

All -- We addressed a few issues with images in shared story maps in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6. I'm not sure if my test portal environment exactly duplicates your environments, but I am not able to reproduce the situation you have described on my 10.6 test portal using SAML logins. When 10.6 is released, please let me know if you are still seeing this issue after you upgrade. ... View more

Hi Kate -- Sorry you are having trouble with your story map. Can you share the story with everyone (from your Content page) and post the link here so we can take a look? ... View more

Hi Aaron -- Videos added as a background (like on the cover or in an immersive section) never worked on mobile devices in Cascade. In the June 2017 update a feature was added that warns you of this situation and gives you the ability to add a static image that will display in place of the video on mobile devices. See this blog for details: Optimize a Cascade Story for Mobile Readers | ArcGIS Blog  If you want to ensure your readers can see your videos, even on a mobile device, be sure to add them in-line in a narrative section. ...
