How to truly prevent video uploads?

Description

Everytime a user uploads a large video file my server doesn’t cope and needs rebooting.

In the file upload tab an the admin panel I have the following under Blocked Media Types:

image/svg+xml,video/mkv+mp4+avi+mov+webm

But it doesn’t work because people can still upload all of these video file types

What do I need to change it to, please?

  • Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 4.4.0

Any additional Information

This is the exact content of that setting?

I just tried this setting:
image/svg+xml,video/mp4

And was prevented to send a mp4 file.

please, try:
image/svg+xml,video/mkv,video/mp4,video/avi,video/mov,video/webm
