• Submit ideas and debate points with video

• Maximum video and audio lengths are set for each group for ideas and debate points. The defaults are 60 seconds for ideas and 30 seconds for debate points.
• Video uploads for group header
• Video uploads for community header
• Video uploads for group header

Improvements

• UI for idea lists on mobiles improved by making the format more condense with less useless whitespace
• UI for ideas and debate points on mobiles improved by using the full width dynamically on different mobile phone sizes
