Summary:
Why are MP3 files created by Zoom phone call recordings unable to be played by Google Drive?
Details:
I used the Zoom app for Android on my phone to make a phone call. I recorded part of that call. On the phone, the recording played back well. I used the share button in the player to send the recording file to my Google Drive.
In Google Drive's UI via Google Chrome on macOS, I could see the recording file, named for the date and time of the phone call with a ".mp3" extension. I tried to play the recording directly in GD, but it told me "Your browser is unable to play this audio file." I found other MP3 files in my GD and they could be played directly.
So, I downloaded the MP3 file as GD suggested. macOS could play it in Music.app and I could even open it with Google Chrome. So, what is it about Zoom's recordings that make it incompatible with Google Drive for playback?
