Video autoplay

This tweet by PPK asking for info on people not 'liking' video autoplay 
made we wonder if we should cover this in the pattern for distractions? 
I thought we had but cannot find it. Is there research to back it?

For audio we have the following but video playing on the screen might be 
equally distracting if it is just 'noise'

Success Criterion 1.4.2 Audio Control

and

Success Criterion 1.4.7 Low or No Background Audio
