Comment (by afercia):

 Besides the Safari issue, I've just noticed the videos autoplay. Worth
 considering this is something that was already tried in 4.7 and then
 reverted (too late) for performance reasons, see
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39560

 Quoting from the ticket:
 > Upon the upgrade to 4.7, some users reported a 100% CPU load after being
 redirected to the About page, apparently caused by three videos set to
 autoplay simultaneously​. Others made a point that it's also a bad UX for
 users with slow and/or limited mobile data plans.

 > We should try to fix it in 4.7.2 or at least avoid doing that for future
 releases.

 Also for accessibility, autoplaying videos are not great.
