Bug description

Hi!

I was trying to use background videos in revealjs but they do not appear.

Steps to reproduce

Below I am using a sample YouTube link provided in the Videos – Quarto docs (here with YouTube, also did not work with Vimeo link or local video):

````qmd
---
title: "Untitled"
format: revealjs
---

## {background-video="https://youtu.be/wo9vZccmqwc?autoplay=1"}

````
Expected behavior

Render slide with background video.

Actual behavior

Empty slide with no visible video.
