/home: Escaping video doesn't work on all devices

[plexish]

The X for the video window isn’t visible on certain devices. Escape doesn’t work to exit

[bryceerobertson]

Also: video doesn't pause automatically when user exits.

Also: clicking above or below the video doesn't exit out.

Fixed:

• The X for the video window isn’t visible on certain devices.
• video doesn't pause automatically when user exits.
• clicking above or below the video doesn't exit out.

Partially fixed:

• Escape doesn’t work to exit: ESC now works but only as long as video playback hasn't started. This is because when a YouTube video is playing in an iframe, it captures keyboard events like the ESC key press. Seems to require actual coding skills to get around. @plexish

I imagine let's address this in the technical call with nemo. I'll prep for that call by trying to have a good understanding of how to integrate custom code.

@ricewithabee could you recenter the X? :)

@ricewithabee could you recenter the X? :)

Done. I made it a little bigger for you too.

Will discuss with Nemo next week.

Update: Nemo tries quick fix, if it doesn't work forget it (change to low priority)

@mruwnik if it's easy enough to do, I think we should make the video automatically start. This will (mostly) avoid the ESC issue, since the user is less likely to click inside the modal (e.g. pressing Start) and therefore won't cause YouTube to start capturing keystrokes.

Here's an example: https://www.vastspace.com/

Everything is right in the world. It's like alignment was just solved.
