Not that I know off, if you ask TED please tell me.
Its because the TED embed codes always make it autoplay and it does not matter what settings you use.
I don’t think the autoplaying is on the TED side.
Using a self-hosted site with Jetpack’s shortcode functionality turned on and ARVE disabled, the TED shortcode embeds without autoplay no problem.
Using the same post and turning on ARVE, the shortcode embeds with autoplay.

Additional info: I work at TED and just finished coordinating updating the documentation/screenshots for the TED shortcode on WordPress’s support page. Jetpack is their official plug-in for oodles of stuff, including shortcodes. I’m also a fan of your plug-in and started using it independently of this ticket a few months ago. Nice work!

Indeed it’s on TEDs side, at least for the time I implemented this. I don’t know how Jetpack implemented this but I did this from the official iframe embed code and also I use the TED URLs to then generate a Iframe src= from it that is almost similar.
And at that time the official (non WordPress) copy paste iframe codes at TED always autoplayed, there where zero options, zero documentetion on customasation so I figured this is the only was it works.
Jetpack is probably using some IDs and some oembed stuff.
If you work at TED then how about giving me the propper information on how to stop the autoplay instead of just claim something?
// I just looked, it’s still the same, option-less iframe code on TED.
We found the issue. It turns out the embed was setup such that if any value was assigned to autoplay, the video would autoplay (ex: autoplay=false would autoplay but autoplay not being set to anything would not autoplay).
We’ve updated the code such that the videos will only autoplay if autoplay=true or autoplay=1 (this seems to have fixed the issue, at least on my test post)

Ahhh!
Maybe I remembered this wrong but I remembered it autoplaying without any paramater just the default iframe code tested outside the plugin. Anyway I never guessed it being this way.
Anyway the way it works now it more straight forward most providers work exactly like this and this makes this plugin work with TED without me changing anything.
Now TED talks finally stopped the always autoplay and I know the reason why it did.
