Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A user can zoom an image or a Live Photo, but there is no way to zoom a video in the Media viewer.

Describe the solution you'd like
Enable Nextcloud to zoom video both when paused and during playback. I would like the behaviour to be consistent with Apple Photos.

Research direction

Start by locating the iOS Media viewer implementation and the existing zoom behavior for images and Live Photos. Compare how video behaves when paused and during playback, then define and verify consistent zoom behavior for both states against the requested Apple Photos-like experience.
