No way to close video or copy link when viewing a vertical video on a mobile browser #684

Description

Describe the bug
When viewing a vertical 9:16 video on a mobile browser (tested on a Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPad 10-inch), the video takes up the entire screen even when not in full screen making it impossible to close the video and go back unless I switch to Desktop mode. Changing orientation to landscape makes the video unplayable.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Upload any 9:16 vertical video
  2. View it on any mobile browser

Expected behavior
The ability to scroll down to see the X button, suggested videos, and link share buttons. Automatically scale the video when turned horizontally for vertical videos.

Mobile (please complete the following information):

  • Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari (iPad)
