Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue from a chat using the '+' button and the photo or video picker on an iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 14.2. Compare the selected video, its thumbnail, and the video received by another client. Done means the sent video remains visible and its audio is intact instead of appearing cyan.
