Description
There's no video controls in the Cover Block when it has a video background.
When you're editing the page, this is incredibly annoying as the video just constantly plays over and over again, which in turn, causes the fan on my laptop to go crazy. Editing a page shouldn't be this resource intensive.
At the bare minimum, there should be a Play/Pause control on the Cover Block toolbar to allow you to stop the video from constantly playing when editing the page.
There should also be settings in the settings sidebar, like the Video Block, to specify whether the video should be looped and/or muted on the frontend.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions
- Add cover block and select a video to use as the background
- Watch video play over and over without being able to control it or stop it
