Zoom Recording while sharing screen issue

I was recording a Masterclass and was sharing my screen.  Every once in awhile I would pause the video to look at my notes and when I unpaused the video and kept going everything seemed fine.  But when I went back and watched, every time I paused the video...a black screen was inserted for a second until I got started again.  Is there something in the settings that is causing this or is it something that happens when screen sharing and pausing a video?  Thanks for your help.

Hi there @mclampitt! Thank you for posting your question. However, I want to ask a couple of clarifying questions first. Were you pausing your video (as in your webcam) during the recording? Or were you sharing a video and pausing this particular video during your recording?

I was recording with zoom, sharing my screen and then pausing the video while recording. Then when I was ready to start recording again I would hit to unpause .  Hope that makes sense.
