P.S. The easy explanation? If you use your smartphone for your Zoom conference calls, watch a Netflix movie, play video games etc, the data needs to be compressed before you can see it (it has something to do with your mobile towers and the signals it receives and transits to you).
If it isn’t, you’re going to spend a lot of time waiting for it to download (buffering).
