Description

### Impacted plugin

Jetpack, VideoPress

### What

I would like to propose that we move the `Download this video` option away from the sharing options and to the front of the VideoPress block.

### How

Currently, the video download option is hidden away under the sharing settings as shown below:

I propose that we move this to a more prominent spot at the front of the VideoPress block provided that sharing and download options are enabled for the block.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the Jetpack VideoPress block implementation and its sharing and download controls, then trace how those options are enabled. Done means the download action appears at the front of the block when permitted, while sharing and download settings continue to be respected.
