That's a great question, I double-checked and yes, you can!
First of all, a scheduled player should always start with the lazy-bundle, otherwise you're loading the full-player just to display an image.
But even a player with schedule, when inside a video-schedule slot - it can still be "lazy" and load the full player only when clicked or scrolled-to 💪
