Yes. The OOTB Discussion board uses a rich textfield, thus you can upload and embed images, videos etc.

If you embed a video from an external site, for example Youtube you get a lots of options to add parameters like autostart and such to the URL. (autoplay=1)

Edit

It's important that the video is stored as a Video content type. Use the default image library in your site to store the videos or create a new library of the type "Assets Library".
