How to remove arrows?

[jimearl]

Anyone know how to get rid of these double left/right arrows that overlay my videos?

They show up on every video I play and are annoying. I can remove them by double-tapping after the video starts, but I shouldn't have to do that extra step for every video.

What are you using to playback these videos? What format are they in?

Rotate the phone to landscape mode? It looks like the video was too wide to shrink to a reasonable size while the phone was in portrait mode, if you rotate to landscape it should have the space needed.

Just the default video player. I believe the videos are .mp4 files, whatever it saves them as when you record a video with the phone's built-in camera.

Thanks for the reply. Can't explain why, but it is no longer doing this. When I tap on a recorded video in Photos, it just plays normally now (no more arrows). Not sure why it was doing that yesterday.
