Description
As per https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/16936, when you upload a video, whether or not there's a thumbnail is dictated by the codec support of your browser.
When there's no thumbnail available, Element renders the video as a black box, which just looks broken.
As a low priority enhancement I'd like to suggest replacing the black box with something that conveys the meaning "there's no thumbnail for this video and that's okay" rather than just looking broken.
