      This looks like the layout for the "Watch Together" feature: https://messengernews.fb.com/2020/09/14/feel-together-messenger-introduces-watch-together/

      There's a bottom section that slides up and if a user clicks on one of the videos it will play for all participants. If anyone sees this and didn't intentionally click on one of those videos please file a bug!
