Restrict videos to a certain size in the chat window

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is really messy that when someone or you yourself upload a video that it tends to take a lot of space in the chat window so that you have to scroll up a lot just to get back to prior messages or down to get back to recent ones.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be clever to restrict the maximum size of the video element so that it doesn't just take up a lot of space inside the chat window

Do you suggest a max-width and/or max-height? I wonder what the "magical" number would be... Maybe max 40% of the chat height? Do you have a screenshot to make the issue clearer visually?

I think both would be good to have in some way. as seen in the GIF

Wow! Thanks for the gif. It makes it all much clearer 😮

I wonder how hard it will be to set max-height... Don't have time to look at it at the moment, but this will get fixed one way or another.

Yeah, I have realized this issue pretty early when I installed Convos and was surprised no one else showed this as it basically happens with every video.

The change will be part of the next release - Hopefully within 24 hours.

I think the reason is that a lot of videos are horizontal and not vertically. At least I've never seen a vertical video in Convos, or I would've noticed.
