Sharing video player stops after 30 minutes

During a Zoom meeting I was hosting, I shared a local video file and after about 30 minutes the video stopped playing. The meeting didn’t freeze, only the video, and I could not restart the video. I have done this same thing in the past (on earlier Zoom versions) and it worked fine. I checked memory and disk usage, and I have plenty available. After the meeting, I restarted my computer, closed other programs running, and tried it again with the same result.  When I share the video I click the box for Optimize for Video Sharing. I also tried using other similar video files and had the same problem.

Video file: mpeg-4, 558 MB (created using Handbrake)

Zoom version: 6.6.11

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

Processor 2.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel Corei5

Memory 8 GB 1867 MhZ DDR3

MacOS Monterey 12.7.6

 

Appreciate any suggestions on what may have changed to create this problem.

Since there are multiple ways to share a video file which method did you use?
