Hover-triggered video playback option

I would like to suggest an additional option for the video settings.
Currently, videos already support useful playback options such as:
autoplay
loop
muted
show controls
As an additional feature, it would be great to have a “play on hover” / “start on hover” option.
This could create a much more subtle and interactive way of using motion content, especially in galleries, grids, or portfolio layouts, where constant autoplay can sometimes feel visually overwhelming.
A hover-triggered playback option could allow motion to appear only when the user intentionally interacts with a specific element, creating a cleaner and more dynamic browsing experience.
