Does it happen with only 1 video or all?

Is it playing on an external display somewhere in your home?

Do you have a smart speaker, Google home app, or smart TV connected to your device?

Have you tried playing them from the Google Photos app, instead of the gallery?

Are they on your device or in the cloud?
