Description
This is a stub reminder issue to further investigate this comment noticed during internal call for testing (pbMoDN-1oy-p2v#comment-2755); better check if we download the full videos or if the thumbnails are very slowly generated on the server.
Expected behavior
When loading video thumbnails from WP Media library, they load in a timely way.
Actual behavior
When loading video thumbnails from WP Media library, they loads slow.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Be sure to have some videos (like 20) in the WP Media Library
- In GB add Video block
- Add video from WP Media Library
- Notice the video thumbnails load slow
Tested on [Pixel 3 Emu], Android [API 30], WPAndroid [#13216 CI Build]

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with about 20 videos in the WP Media Library, using the Gutenberg Video block on the Pixel 3 emulator with Android API 30 and the WPAndroid #13216 CI build. Investigate whether full videos are downloaded or thumbnails are generated slowly on the server. Done means the cause is identified and video thumbnails load in a timely way.
