Certainly not auto-play. I think we might look into lazy-load the player 
when a link/button is activated. I think there could be a case for 
having the videos on individual pages (to allow for expansion of the 
guidance we give there, for example), but it might not be worth it right 
now.

 From the [AblePlayer github 
page](https://github.com/ableplayer/ableplayer):

So that should be possible. (I have no experience – yet – with 
AblePlayer)
