    Hey there! I've published the following updates to this document for 7.0 and moved this to ready for review:

    • Added new screenshot showing an example of a Math block's settings customized (color, padding, margin, font size)
    • Refactored the Block Settings section to include new settings options
    • Removed reference to 6.9 under the FAQ "Can I number equations or add references?" because the required versions for using this block are already stated at the beginning of the article.
    • Updated Changelog

    Hi @Lanamiro! Thank you so much for your feedback and reviewing. What browser are you using? I tested this with another user and they did not see this error, so I'm trying to troubleshoot.

    @kedarjoyner hey, I tested from 2 devices:
    Tablet iPad and iPhone 15 / via Chrome and Safari

    And we tested from not Apple environment and video was showing ok. So, now I suppose it can be an Apple thing. Just quick note - other videos are working just fine.

    Hi @Lanamiro! I think it may have been because the video was a .mov file instead of a .mp4 I've made this update to the video file type. Would you mind testing this again to see if it works and begins to play at a high resolution for you? It worked for me when testing on iPad and Safari this evening.

    @Lanamiro I am actually still having trouble with this video after more testing in Safari. I think it has something to do with the VideoPress plugin. I will discuss this with the Docs team. For now, I've replaced that section with a screenshot and will close this issue so that we're able to move forward. Thank you so much for your contributions, I've added props the Changelog!
