Add embed code option allowing to autoplay DAM videos

Problem/Motivation

This is a new feature request.
We are using videos in various widgets across the system which are supposed to work as silent animated backgrounds. Current embed codes list allowing to use "Video without player" to embed element directly, but when used in scenario described above - it doesn't match the purpose as video requires user interaction to start playing

Proposed resolution

It would be great if we can have an option to have another one, let's say "Background video", with following attributes set: muted, autoplay, loop, playsinline and remove controls attribute

    In general terms, I like the idea, thanks for bringing it up and creating an MR. Some objectives from me:

    • The naming of the new option should fit into the semantical pattern of already existing ones, which mostly (all?) describe what the editor will receive when choosing that option (eg. “inline_view”, “link_thumbnail_download”, and “link_thumbnail”). Oppositely, the suggested name “background_video” represents a possible purpose for how this option can be used.

      After some testing, I found the proposed setup very similar to the already existing “video_stream” option. Therefore I suggest we could help the content editors understand better the difference between these two.
    • The autoplay feature activates within the WYSIWYG editor as well. I did not started to investigate any possibilities to its specific disablement, so we can handle it as a known issue until hearing back end-user complaints.
