Vimeo video stopped autoplaying

At a glance

A community member is using the Vimeo component with Auto Play enabled, but it has recently stopped working. They have tested it in Brave and Firefox and are wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. Another community member mentions a similar problem with the YouTube video component.

In the comments, a community member asks if the video is an existing one that used to autoplay and has now stopped, or if it's a new video. Another community member says they are looking into the issue.

Later, a community member named Bogdan indicates they have landed a fix and asks others to check if it's working. Two other community members confirm that the fix works for them.

I'm using the Vimeo component with the settings toggled to enable Auto Play. Up until recently it was working fine, but it has stopped working for some reason. See: https://www.vaisense.com/security

I have tested in Brave and Firefox for desktop. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi, so you didn't add a new video, it is an existing video that used to autoplay and stopped doing it?
Also did it stop autoplaying after you published or without touching the published site?
