Autoplay iframe YouTube video in Safari 11

I have a simple modal dialog:

All is good in most browsers - video starts playing, except Safari 11.1.

Safari has new auto-play policy that requires explicit click and video element to start playing it: https://webkit.org/blog/7734/auto-play-policy-changes-for-macos/

Is there some way to make it autoplay for dynamically added YouTube (or Vimeo) iframe?

Example YouTube iframe:

<iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media; fullscreen" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/20iMzRklHNU?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;autoplay=1&amp;enablejsapi=1"></iframe>

Safari 11 now disables/blocks autoplay features. You have to manually go to the safari settings and Allow All Auto-Play.
