Description
In #4820 we added video cards that would open the featured video when the thumbnail was tapped. However, when the video appears the user is expected to tap again to start playing it. Investigate whether there's a param we can add to YouTube and Vimeo video URLs which make them autoplay.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #4820 and locating where Reader stream video URLs are opened. Check whether YouTube and Vimeo support autoplay parameters for these URLs, then verify the behavior when a thumbnail is tapped. Done means supported videos begin playing without a second tap, or the limitation is documented.
