Description

  • Your Rocket.Chat Experimental app version: 4.10.0.19667
  • Your Rocket.Chat server version: 4.5.1

I think it will help alot when receiving videos they get downloaded (upon user tap on video box) and it is saved in the device instead of it being streamed. It will help greatly in re-viewing videos or while offline

Also video thumbnail will be an amazing step too.

Thank you very much for all the help and great server / applications.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the React Native video playback and received-video handling, then determine how a tap could save a video for offline playback; done means received videos can be downloaded to the device and viewed offline, with thumbnail support treated as a separate consideration.
