- How do I get rid of the on-screen playback box on video play...
To remove the on-screen playback box when watching videos on an HP Notebook PC, you can follow these general steps:
-
Access Video Playback Settings:
- Open your video player software (e.g., VLC, Windows Media Player, or a web browser).
- Look for the settings or options menu within the player.
-
Adjust Full-Screen Playback:
- Enable or switch to full-screen mode for video playback. This mode usually hides the playback box and controls.
- You might be able to toggle full-screen mode by pressing F11 or clicking the full-screen icon on the player.
-
Disable On-screen Display (OSD) or Controls:
- If the player has an On-Screen Display (OSD) or controls option, disable it to remove the playback box.
- Check within the player's settings for options like "Hide controls" or "Disable OSD."
-
Close Other Running Software:
- Ensure no third-party software or overlay tools on your computer interfere with video playback.
- Close unnecessary applications running in the background.
-
Check Graphics Driver Settings:
- Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date, as outdated drivers can sometimes cause display issues.
- Update the graphics driver if needed via HP Support Assistant or the manufacturer’s website.
