42:29I don't know. Didn't watch it. If anyone else has any comments, they can raise their hands, but I don't know. So let's go to the next question, I guess. Francis Frey in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I use the Rodecaster video for Zoom teaching. Depending on what I send in from an iPad, it can be blurry. Notability, handwriting is crisp, and sometimes graphics are blurry from the same app. What is going on?

42:57Hmm. I don't use a Rodecaster video, but Courtney does. What do you think is happening with the negotiation and that connection? I'm not sure. It depends on her setup and how she's bringing. Notably, handwriting is crisp and sometimes graphics are blurry. Maybe it's resizing it because when you bring in a still graphic into the media player, it will resize it and rescale it to match 1080p.
