I believe this was also a regression from #7909, I have a revert up for it here: #7909

[thienlnam]

Is this still reproducible @kbecciv? The fix is on production

[kbecciv]

@thienlnam Yes. Issue is still reproduced on last QA Regression.

@thienlnam Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[melvin-bot]

@thienlnam 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

[thienlnam]

Back from OOO, will look into this later today

[thienlnam]

I don't think we ever had the functionality to view videos inside the app / it always needed to be downloaded. Going to close this since it works as expected now (shows as attachment and can be downloaded)
