Comment (by jnylen0):

 As noted [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1495740339139967
 in Slack discussion], this is partly a pre-existing issue.  However,
 what's new in 4.8 is that the video widget displays the video preview as
 though the video is going to play, but then it's broken on the front-end.
 To me this UX issue is a reason to fix this in 4.8.
