Allow videos to loop and autoplay within placeholders

I wanted to have an auto-playing, looping video side by side with a block of descriptive text. I added a section for "Conent in rows", since that was exactly the layout I needed. I expected to be able to input an embed code for a Vimeo video that contained parameters from auto-play and loop, but I found that those parameters were stripped out when the code was processed. The video worked within the placeholder, but a click was necessary to play it.

Next, I attempted to use a "Make your own" section so that the embed code wouldn't be altered. The video worked great with looping and auto-play, but now I have no way to format text to the side of the video, because the video frame stretches across the width of the page.

My request: I would love it if the video container in a fully formatted section like "content in rows" could keep embed codes intact. Or maybe they could even have a checkbox option in their edit dialog that would allow auto-play and/or looping.

    I was just about to enter a request for the same thing! I wanted to enter a very short clip into one of my blogs. It's only about 15 secs and I wanted it to autoplay rather than having the user click.

    If there was some sort of functionality that allowed you to choose how the video is played back, that would be amazing.
