Story Map Tour<\/a> is ideal when you want to present an ordered, place-based narrative featuring images or videos. Each “story point” in the tour has a location, and readers can click through sequentially, or explore by interacting with the map, or using an optional thumbnail carousel. Audio recordings can also be added to your Story Map tour, and used to enhance the storytelling experience.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Add an audio file<\/h2>\n

In this example we\u2019ll add an audio file to an existing tour, and specifically to an existing tour stop.<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong> – Open your Map Tour in builder mode<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/strong> – Add the audio file to the desired tour stop<\/p>\n

A good place to add an audio control is to the tour stop caption so it appears below the text as seen in the example tours above. Advance to the desired tour stop, and click to edit the picture caption. Depending on which layout you have chosen, the caption editing panel may appear slightly different, but adding audio works the same way no matter which layout you have chosen.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":327212,"id":327212,"title":"horse-1","filename":"horse-1.jpg","filesize":51254,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/story-maps\/mapping\/adding-audio-to-your-story-map-tour\/horse-1","alt":"","author":"7641","description":"","caption":"","name":"horse-1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":297862,"date":"2018-09-25 15:20:34","modified":"2018-09-25 15:20:34","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":684,"height":488,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":152,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","medium-width":366,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","medium_large-width":684,"medium_large-height":488,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","large-width":684,"large-height":488,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","1536x1536-width":684,"1536x1536-height":488,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","2048x2048-width":684,"2048x2048-height":488,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","card_image-width":652,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/horse-1.jpg","wide_image-width":684,"wide_image-height":488}},"image_position":"left-center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Tips<\/h2>\n
Audio is best when used sparingly. Like adding spice to food, too much can ruin your efforts, but a pinch here and there can bring out the story\u2019s flavor. Keep your audio clips short and to the point. Note that audio files may not play in all versions of browsers or on all devices. To learn more about embedding sounds, see the\u00a0w3schools.com website<\/a>\u00a0we referenced for this example.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
 <\/p>\n
Note<\/h2>\n
Using the audio tag to embed audio clips in Map Tour captions as described in this blog is not supported when uploading local images directly into the Map Tour Builder.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
