We recommend using Chrome, Edge, or Safari instead of Firefox to play back Zoom meeting recordings. This is a known an issue with Firefox on Windows and the compatibility of Zoom's video recording format.  If you need to use Firefox, as a workaround, the meeting organizer can enable Optimize the recording for 3rd party video editor in their Zoom recording settings. This feature will not affect previous recordings but only new ones.
