I want to block(abort) all requests to video resources, how can I achieve it with puppeteer?

I see there is an example in the documentation:

An example of a naïve request interceptor that aborts all image requests:

page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
    if (interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') || interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg'))
      interceptedRequest.abort();
    else
      interceptedRequest.continue();
});

But I can't seem to find an example on how to block videos.
Only the response headers says the content-type and I don't want to waste the bandwidth for vain.
