macbook pro thumbnail playback not working desktop

Hi, so you know the thing that like when you hover over a video icon on your desktop you get the little play button and theres a little preview that plays on the icon? It's gone for me on the desktop, but not in Finder. How can I fix this? I had it working just a few days ago.

file preview stuck on loading icon | does not preview or quick from finder Ever since I updated to the latest macOS (ventura 13.3 - 22E252), the preview and quick look feature for files in finder does not work. It keeps loading but never previews the file. However, the preview app does work, so when I fully open the file, it opens up correctly with it's designated app but the quick look feature and preview in finder does not. This seems to affect files of all size types small to large I've attached a screenshot for reference.

File thumbnail preview takes forever to load on column view mode in finder mac os 12.6 Is there a way to disable only the thumbnail on the preview column view mode and still see all the file info? I can't do any tasks on my computer while the thumbnail is loading. It is very annoying. If I'm not mistaken, there used to be an arrow on top that we could click, and the thumbnail would collapse.
