Overprint Preview in InDesign 2021 showing strange looping video

I am working on a document in InDesign 2021, and when I switch to View > Overprint Preview, a strange looping video begins playing over my pages. It looks like some kind of animated demo (see attached image). I cannot move it away from the pasteboard, and the only way to end it is to switch off Overprint Preview. 

 

I'm not using a template; I started from a blank document. Any idea what might be going on here?

When clicked, it should appear like this. You can turn it off by clicking the X just outside the animation at the upper right:
