Description
When using Jetpack Videos, you can upload videos by going to Media > Library in wp-admin.
When you do upload a video, a temporary thumbnail is created to indicate that the video is uploaded, but still being converted.
Even when the conversion is complete, that thumbnail is not refreshed. One has to refresh the page to see that temporary thumbnail being replaced by the real video thumbnail.
It would be nice if that thumbnail was automatically updated.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the Jetpack Videos upload and conversion flow alongside the Media > Library thumbnail rendering. Reproduce the issue by uploading a video and waiting for conversion, then verify that the temporary thumbnail changes to the real video thumbnail without a page refresh.
