Rocket.chat.reactnative: Feature: Video playback offline

• Your Rocket.Chat server version: 4.5.1

I think it will help alot when receiving videos they get downloaded (upon user tap on video box) and it is saved in the device instead of it being streamed. It will help greatly in re-viewing videos or while offline

Also video thumbnail will be an amazing step too.

Thank you very much for all the help and great server / applications.

Hey, I think I can work on this,
As a user opens the AttachmentView.js .We need to search the downloaded videos in the local directory ( with rn-fetch-blob) and if it's there load it and play, else we can stream it and also simultaneously download it ( like WhatsApp ) for later offline use.
And also a user can have an option to turn this auto-download off if he wants!
@diegolmello what do you think?
