Description
### Impacted plugin
Jetpack
### What
If you drag in a new video file to the block editor, you should be able to drop it on top of an existing video block to replace the block with the content of the new video.
### How
The image block supports this if we need inspiration on how the UX works.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Jetpack VideoPress block implementation and comparing its drag-and-drop behavior with the image block, which the issue identifies as the UX reference. Done means dropping a new video onto an existing VideoPress block replaces that block with the new video content and preserves the expected block-editor behavior.
