Swipe right to close playing / finished video

Open Bugsbane opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Often when I'm playing a video in the app, I end up wanting to close it (especially when it's finished playing), but there doesn't seem to be any easy, obvious way currently. Often I end up reading my feeds with them partially obscured by the thumbnail of the now finished video, or closing the app and opening it again, just to get the video rectangle to go away.

It would be great if swiping right on the video closed it, as in the YouTube app.

Thank you!

I believe Android is offering this by default now (at least on Android 14 I can just close the video by dragging it to the bottom of the screen). Therefore closing this
