Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. use a homeserver with animations enabled e.g. the-apothecary.club
2. join a room with someone who has animated avatar (e.g. #matrix:matrix.org)
3. see someone with an animated avatar say something
### What happened?
The animation plays constantly and there is no way to stop it, so focus moves from the messages to it.
### What did you expect?
Element either doesn't play it constantly or has an option to stop it. See suggestions at https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/pause-stop-hide.html
