Description
Expected behavior
I would expect that the Video story posts would have a thumbnail shown in the post, like the image stories, but it looks like it just has a placeholder image. I created the story by uploading 1 video and publishing it without any changes. See attached image.
This was tested on WordPress for Android version 16.5-RC-1, Pixel 3 phone, Android version 11.

Research direction
Reproduce the missing thumbnail using the reported WordPress for Android 16.5-RC-1, Pixel 3, and Android 11 setup, then trace how Video Stories and video blocks render their post previews. Done means a published video story displays a thumbnail instead of the placeholder, with coverage added if the relevant preview test location is found.
