Steps to reproduce:
This is a feature request.
Site-specific audio/video autoplay settings (Allow, Allow Audio only, Block) are great. They work on a domain basis, so abc.domain.org is different from xyz.domain.org and needs its own setting. Allowing the former to autoplay doesn't automatically allow the latter.
To reproduce: allow abc.domain.org to autoplay; notice that xyz.domain.org is not allowed to autoplay.
Actual results:
Allowing abc.domain.org to autoplay; doesn't allow xyz.domain.org to autoplay.
Expected results:
I would like autoplay settings to be based on second-level, not third-level domains. Case in point: Bandcamp. Bandcamp band pages use domains like mycoolband.bandcamp.com and individual settings are required for each band page. I would like to have the ability to allow *.bandcamp.com to autoplay. I understand this is a bit of a judgement call, but I find it reasonable. If not as a default, at least as a manual setting, e.g. an input field where the user can type a third- or second-level domain to whitelist (see attachment).

Hi,
I will move this enhancement over to a component so developers can take a look over it. If this is not the correct component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.
Thanks for your report.
