Feature Description

It would be great if there was an option to set playback of videos to loop or repeating. Especially for shorter videos this would make rewatching them easier and more convinient! Thanks in advance!

Well I would still like to see this, dear stale bot.

Weird. When I sent a short mp4, it does loop automatically, but it gets opened in a video player activity. While a “gif” somebody sent me turned out to be a mp4 too. So how does Signal tell the difference? When does it loop? When does it play it right in the chat, and when does it show a play button and opens a separate window?
