Setting up QA data:

I did the same theme setup as before, adding three themes.

• Theme A: Challenge 1 & 2
• Theme B: Challenge 3
• Theme C: empty

Saw one edge case, which was hitting "Back" after deployment and the video playing with old css and js, seemingly, which meant it looked wrong and behaved incorrectly. Not something we can do much about now, nor something to worry about, I think.
