Autoplay not working for YouTube and Vimeo videos.

[Varshal24]

Preconditions (*)

Tested on this versions:

1. Magento 2.4-develop branch
2. Magento 2.4.7
3. Magento 2.4.6
4. Magento 2.4.5

Description (*)

The YouTube and Vimeo videos are not auto-playing when the page loads, as they are supposed to when the mentioned configuration in the 'steps to reproduce' section is enabled. Additionally, I changed the autoplay configuration in the Firefox browser, but it still did not work. I checked on several other browsers such as Opera, Safari, Edge, etc., but autoplay did not function. I noticed that some browsers restrict autoplay, which is why I verified this issue across multiple browsers and modified the Firefox configuration, but the autoplay feature did not work.

I have also verified that the browser autoplay is not restricted and works after changing the settings, by running a YouTube video in an HTML file.

Firefox configuration:

Steps to reproduce (*)

1. Set the YouTube API Key in Store -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Catalog -> Product Video under this configuration.
2. Additionally, enable the settings below named “Autostart base video” and “Auto restart video”.
3. Create a product and add a Vimeo or YouTube video, then make it the base by selecting the base checkbox.
4. Visit the front end and open the same product.
5. Now the video is supposed to autoplay after the page loads, but it's not auto-playing.

Expected result (*)

1. Youtube and Vimeo videos should be autoplay when the ‘Product Video’ configuration is set.

Actual result (*)

1. The YouTube and Vimeo video autoplay feature is not working.
