Known Limit
After review by the development team, it has been determined that this issue is related to a known limitation with the software that lies outside of Esri's control. The issue's Additional Information section may contain further explanation.
Additional Information
This is a known limitation with web pages that contain behavior that is triggered when the page loads (such as a video that autoplays).
A workaround is to display the web page in the main stage of a section or as a story action (it's recommended to use the "unload when navigating away" option), or simply reference the web page in the story as a hyperlink that will open the page in a new browser tab.
