Discourse doesn’t set the `preload` attribute of oneboxed HTML5 videos, so it’s entirely up to the browser whether to load the video. At a guess, I’d say that desktop browsers will tend to load it, and mobile browsers will tend not to. We could add `preload="metadata"` so that only the video metadata is loaded until the video is clicked. That discussion should probably be in a new thread, as it’s not really part of this 🐛.
