Hey RosettaChiko! I am happy to hear that you agree that videos can be a valuable part of an article page :)

The videos will auto play (not audio play). This way can ensure we can declutter the ad experience on the page and get rid of older ad formats.

We will work with the communities to make sure the video content works for them, but yes if we select a page for a featured video then it will be mandatory.
