Safari browser jumps to display HTML5 autoplay video
<p>I have a feed of Instagram content that includes recent posts. If the post is a video it displays as such: HTML5 video with autoplay, loop and muted attributes.</p>

<p>Aesthetically the result is very pleasing; however in Safari when the video has completed loading, the browsers skips down the web page to the position of the video. It doesn't do this in Chrome.</p>

<p>The video is not the main content so I do not want it to skip down the page. </p>

<p><strong>Questions</strong></p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is there a W3C standard for autoplay? i.e is safari or chrome taking the default approach</p></li>
<li><p>What's the best way to remedy this?</p></li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Thoughts on soultion</strong></p>

<p>I could turn off autoplay and instead trigger play with JS. This however seems a little bit unnecessary and creates a new dependency.</p>
