Error autoplay youtube
Looks like the muted property was correct for Vimeo but not for Youtube. I'll push the fix, thanks.

GrapesJS version
- I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS
What browser are you using?
Chrome 119.0.6045.200 64 bits

Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Drag and drop a video block into the canvas
- Click on the video and select YouTube as the Provider.
- Add any video ID, for instance, lDK9QqIzhwk, and check the Autoplay option.
- Click on the view code button and look for the iframe generated. The URL is something like:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/lDK9QqIzhwk?&autoplay=1&muted=1.
What is the expected behavior? The expected behavior is to autoplay the video with the generated HTML.
What is the current behavior?
The video is not being played automatically with the sound muted with the generated HTML.
I created an empty HTML and put this iframe tag in it and when I changed from muted=1 to mute=1 it worked. Maybe YouTube changed this query parameter recently? I don't know.
I would like to know if anyone knows something about it and if I should make a PR changing the query param from muted to mute to fix this.
Thank you

Thanks for reporting this, @brenoassp.
Great question about Error autoplay youtube. The recommended approach with Canvas is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
