1. Title: Feature Request: Video Preview on Hover in Activity Feed
Description:
Currently, users must click and open a video to know its content. To improve usability and engagement, a hover-to-preview feature can be added. When the user hovers over a video thumbnail (in the activity feed or media gallery), a short snippet (first 5–10 seconds or a low-resolution preview) auto-plays silently.

Value:
Helps users quickly scan through videos without clicking each.
Increases engagement with video posts.
Aligns with modern platforms (YouTube, Instagram, etc.).

2. Title: Feature Request: Live Reaction Overlays for Videos
Description:
Videos currently allow likes/comments, but there’s no real-time interaction. A reaction overlay system could allow users to tap ❤️ 👍 😂 etc. while the video plays, and the reactions float on-screen (similar to live streams).

Value:
Adds fun, interactive element to video watching.
Boosts community engagement.
Makes the activity feed feel more dynamic.
