YouTube live videos won't autoplay due to missing "mute" url parameter

Problem/Motivation

When attempting to autoplay a current live YouTube stream, no video is displayed.

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to autoplay a current live YouTube stream

Proposed resolution

The issue appears to be related to updates in how browsers autoplay videos. Browsers mute regular HTML 5 videos that autoplay. But it seems that in order to comply with that behavior, YouTube requires you to explicitly mute the video in the oembed URL.
