Description

Describing the bug
A short intro video which is listed under the RethinkDB in two minutes isn't playing on the index.html page.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://rethinkdb.com/docs
  2. Click on the play symbol. (It's an image)

Expected behavior
Clicking on the play symbol should actually play the video. That seems to be good for any user who views the docs
(also distracting redirecting to youtube website may not be a good thing)

Additional context
Efforts to change the above thing may not be a big change, but it's simply a dumb thing putting an image over there with a play symbol. Putting a hyperlink may also seem fine rather now it is.

Research direction

Open the documentation page and inspect index.html around the “RethinkDB in two minutes” intro video and its play image. Reproduce the click behavior from https://rethinkdb.com/docs, then make the video playable from the page rather than only redirecting to YouTube. Done means the play control starts the intro video or provides the intended in-page video behavior.
