Self-Hosted Video Autoplay on Hover for Kalium Photography Theme

I am writing to request a new feature for the Kalium WordPress theme. I would like to enable self-hosted videos to autoplay when hovered over.

This would be especially valuable in the prebuilt Photography demo/theme, available here: https://sites.kaliumtheme.com/gutenberg/photography/

I have found that the Media Hovers WordPress Plugin by Tean already supports autoplay on hover for media elements. Would it be possible to integrate (or ensure full compatibility with) the Media Hovers plugin into the Kalium theme so that videos automatically play when users hover over thumbnails in portfolio, gallery, or similar sections?

This small enhancement would greatly improve the user experience on photography and video-heavy sites built with Kalium.

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Iโ€™d appreciate any feedback on whether this integration is feasible or if it could be added in a future update.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
