Comment (by freshyjon):

 This is also causing an issue that may have been overlooked.

 If there are numerous Vimeo videos embedded on the page, previously (by
 default), Vimeo would only allow one of those video to play at a time. If
 a user played one video — then started playing another video — it would
 then pause the previous video that was playing. Again, this is default
 Vimeo behavior. However, when the Vimeo URL has the parameter of `dnt=1`
 on the URL, it causes that default behavior to be overridden. Therefore,
 it allows the user to play multiple videos at once (which is NOT default
 behavior, and is arguably not very “Accessible friendly”).

 Ideally, this would be looked in to further, since it now overrides
 default/expected Vimeo behavior. I argue that it should be removed from
 Vimeo URLs, or at least have an option to disable it from oEmbeds.
