Vimeo component with Background toggled doesn't loop the video

At a glance

The post indicates that in the Vimeo component Settings, enabling Background mode does not enable looping of the video, and the video only plays once. The user has to explicitly enable Loop to have the video loop.

The comments suggest that autoplay is also not activated by Background mode automatically. Community members express that they don't see much value in Background mode, as individual settings can be used to control these features, and Background mode is just a shortcut that makes things more confusing, especially without a UI that visually changes other settings accordingly. Some community members think Background mode should be removed or hidden, and a pull request is mentioned where this mode will be gone in the next version. Overall, the community members recommend not using Background mode and instead toggling the individual options needed.

yeah, seeems like autoplay is also not activated by background mode automatically
on the second thought, I don't actually see much value in background mode, one can decide with individual settings all these things and backgroundmode is effectively just a shortcut and makes this a little more confusing ...
especially without a UI where when you turn on background mode, other settings visibly change as accordingly
I think it needs to be removed/hidden
tldr don't use it, toggle the other options you need, mode will be gone in the next version
This sounds reasonable to me. Thanks
