Usability Testing messed up because of XD message

I'm a UX researcher trying to test an Adobe XD prototype. Every time the prototype loads, a message appears on the screen that has a little hand and says 'pinch to comment and navigate'  Is there a way to disable this? It's messing up my unmoderated tests because my participants follow this direction and screw themselves up. I'd rather not have the prototype complicate my research findings.
