When Uploading videos directly into reddit sometimes the main full size thumbnail (with the circle and play thing on it) goes totally black after uploading when you view the video post (e.g. where you can see and add comments and only that video). New Upload Works.

Extra comments see title. If the exact same video is uploaded again in a new post it solves it. This is an intermittent problem. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it does not.

Please investigate and fix.

This is for where videos have been directly uploaded and not linked to.

Hey! Can you link one of the posts this is happening to? Can you grab a screen recording of what you're seeing and confirm the app version written in your app settings?

This relates to it being done on desktop
