Currently, the default behavior for Livestream embeds is to autoplay video. This may not be desirable for sites, and it would be good to add a "disable autoplay" option to the [livestream] shortcode.
This is reflected on the shortcode's output by the autoPlay query string parameter, which defaults to true if not set.
