It would be good to integrate video playback into the gallery - local and Youtube/Vimeo plus and not rely on an external plugin |

To be fair, that's only about the full page gallery and simply to remove the slider but just display the images one by one on top of each other with vertical scroll. That simplifies the UX drastically and potentially removes the need for aspect ratio setting (in a full page gallery) as they simply adjust to the screen size.
This specific issue (adding aspect ratio and other settings to Product Image) won't be a part of Product Gallery work. But we're still trying to find a right solution how to approach the aspect ratio in a Product Gallery block. Once established, we'll let you folks know in this discussion.
Ah, we didn't use an epic for the last few weeks, apologies.
We're planning the next steps, once we nail them down I'll publish it in form of epic! Again, your input is welcome!
That's a great input! Thank you! cc: @tjcafferkey , @ellenbauer |

With the upcoming release of WooCommerce 9.8, we are making significant updates to the Product Gallery (Beta) block. This block, currently available in the Single Product Template for block-based themes, has been in Beta for about a year, and we’ve gained valuable insights from your feedback. However, we recognize the need for further refinement to ensure it meets your expectations for quality, usability, and performance.
Why are we updating the Product Gallery (Beta) block?
While the block has potential, we’ve identified key areas needing improvement. The current version is overly complex and lacks the polish required for an exceptional user experience, particularly on mobile devices. Our goal is to simplify its functionality, make it more intuitive, and enhance its adaptability across all devices.
