I am building a web application using angular and firebase. Videos are stored on Firebase storage. Now I display the number of videos and when the specific video is selected, it is then played.

There are many videos on the web app and all the videos are displayed on thumbnails and for that I am using the url i.e. downloadURLs of the videos.

The problem is that, all the videos have to be loaded to display the video thumbnails and since each videos have large size, around 20-25 mb, it takes lots of time to load all the videos.

Please let me know any better solution. Thank you
