Mute videos shouldn't be displayed as gifs

Pitch

Currently, when you upload a mute video, they are displayed as gifs. You can't have media controls on them. They should be displayed as videos or have media controls.

Motivation

When you miss a part in the video or want to watch it again, you have to wait the video to finish; it is frustrating.

Agree completely, this is especially annoying when it happens with videos that are several minutes long.

it might make sense to abandon the concept of a "gif" entirely when not referring to the file format. rather, the user should be able to set an API parameter to determine whether the video loops or not (regardless of whether it has sound or not).
