Description
This is part of an idea to improve the VideoPress experience inside the new Media tab on the Gutenberg Inserter.
- the VideoPress category should list only VideoPress videos

Example:

Notes:
- this is not a final idea and we may need more design for this.
- this feature depends on the Inserter Media tab becoming extensible. More info on pe4Cmx-LC-p2.
