in the example at the bottom of [this page](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/everything), it looks as if you should be able to set autoplay to false so that a stream won’t autoplay when embedded. However, it appears, based on [This codepen](https://codepen.io/karptonite/pen/KKdGPbM?editors=1111), that this does not work; This video is autoplaying.

I took a look at twitchdev/issues, and didn’t see any categories that these bug reports would be appropriate for, as far as I could tell.

Put it under Developer Site for now.

I just opened a PR for a embed category and we can move your tickets to the right cat afterwards if needed
