Description
Hello,
I've noticed that the "autoplay" attribute for an html video placed inside the flickity carousel cell does not work -- it does not autoplay. The video can only be played when it has "controls" set up and the play button is pressed.
Note that I did verify that the autoplay works when the video is outside the carousel section.
Any way to fix this?
Here's a sample code from a guide:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the sample video inside a Flickity carousel cell, then compare it with the same video outside the carousel. Trace how the carousel handles video elements and verify that the autoplay attribute works inside a cell without requiring controls or manual playback.
