Can you answer the inexplicable?

An unauthorized individual accessed a Zoom meeting link between a host and one participant and attempted to hide with a third black/blank Zoom box labelled with the name of the authorized participant. The extra box was initially thought to have appeared due to earlier technical issues. The presence of the unauthorized individual eventually became known through chat messages directed toward only the meeting host. The uninvited participant was then booted by the meeting host. Upon viewing a video file playback of the meeting the uninvited participant, the third Zoom black/blank labelled box, is entirely invisible except upon being booted from the meeting the two other video boxes then drop down to a slightly lower position which was the only indication of the presence of the third individual. Can you explain how this invisibility occurred upon playback but not while live, i.e., it seems the playback should have shown the existence of that third Zoom box as appeared during the meeting.

Answers

Top answer

It is likely that the invisibility of the third box during playback occurs because of the way Zoom saves video files during recording. Zoom does not record the video file as a live stream, but as a separate video file that can be played back later.

During recording, the same view may not be displayed as during live streaming, and the additional field with the uninvited participant may not have been recorded during recording or may have been removed from the recording.

It is also possible that the additional field appeared during the live broadcast due to technical issues or a glitch in the uninvited participant's network connection, which could potentially result in a different view during the live broadcast compared to the recording.
