Playing Vimeo Videos in Storyline (autoplay and seekbar)

Hello All,
I am trying to embed Vimeo videos into my Storyline file using the embed link provided by Vimeo. So far, the video does play from the published output. However, I have to use the Vimeo playback controls to start/pause the video.
I'd like to be able to both autoplay the video when the page loads, and play/pause the video using Storyline's seekbar, just as if the video was directly inserted into Storyline, as opposed to using the Vimeo playback controls.
This is mostly because I want to time my storyline animations with the video, but that only works if the seekbar can actually control the playback of the Vimeo embedded video.
Can this be done?

for autoplay add "?autoplay=1" to the link on import "Video from Website"
but you cannot control the vimeo video with the storyline navigation seekbar
UPDATE: storyline trigger for "Video from Website" are not supported

Thanks so much Jürgen,
Your idea definitely worked, as my video did play automatically in both Chrome & Edge. Too bad we cannot control the playback using Storyline's built in player/seekbar, but at least the autoplay works!

Hey Bruce, does the autoplay mute the video?
