ER: Events page continuously loading video

[MattPereira]

Emergent Requirement - Problem

When you visit the events page, the client intermittently fires off POST requests involving the Jennifer Pahlka video that is displayed (embedded?) on the page. On my browser, the loading circle continues for a few minutes before stopping.

This problem appears to occur only on MacOS. See comment below for Slack discussion regarding this problem.

What happens if this is not addressed

Confusing user experience with continuous loading circle around favicon. Using extra bandwidth is a wasteful. If you have a slow internet connection, it can cause extra lag.
