Depends on how you set it up apparently, I assume it changed over time:

    preload= "metadata" - is the default which is 2-3% of the video.

    preload="none" - no video will be downloaded on page load

    preload="auto" - the entire video is downloaded. (Some browsers do not do this, and only download partial videos anyway)
