Bad actors use face-swapping software on Zoom to impersonate colleagues or executives during video calls. While Sealed Rose does not provide live in-call monitoring, you can upload meeting recordings to check for temporal jitter, lighting inconsistencies, and edge blending artifacts.
Signs to look for
1Facial lighting conflicts with background lighting
The speaker’s face appears illuminated from one angle, while shadows in their physical background fall in an opposing direction.
2Inconsistent blinking and eye tracking
The person blinks either unnaturally rarely or in mechanical bursts, with pupils failing to reflect screen glare naturally.
3Boundary distortion during head movement
When the speaker turns their head or gestures near their chin, edge blending around the jawline slips or smears momentarily.
How to protect yourself and take action
Upload meeting recording to video verifier
Export the Zoom MP4 recording and run neural frame analysis to check for generative face replacement and motion anomalies.
Forensic inspection of recorded video calls
- Temporal optical flow: Video forensics evaluates frame-to-frame motion continuity across sampled frames.
- Facial boundary analysis: Identifies blending seams where synthetic faces are superimposed onto a host video stream.
- Lighting vector divergence: Compares specular skin reflections against ambient scene illumination.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sealed Rose monitor live Zoom meetings in real time?
No. Sealed Rose does not provide in-call live monitoring. Instead, save or export the video recording of the call and upload the file to our video verifier for forensic analysis.
Can Zoom natively detect if a participant is using a deepfake?
Zoom does not evaluate whether a video feed originates from a physical camera or software-driven face swap. Post-call forensic inspection of the recording helps verify authenticity.
