Description:
Currently, when a user clicks on any video in the Educational Videos section (accessible via the main dashboard), they are redirected to the external YouTube link of the video. This disrupts the user experience and pulls them out of the Alpha One Labs platform.
Proposed Change:
Instead of redirecting users to YouTube:
-Implement an embedded video player modal or dedicated video page that plays the video within the platform using the YouTube embed API or iframe.
-This player can open in a lightbox-style modal or on a new internal route.
Benefits:
-Keeps users engaged on the platform.
-Provides a more seamless and professional user experience.
-Enables potential future features (e.g., video comments, internal analytics, watch history).
