The video was taken moments before the band's kiss cam honed in on the loved-up pair, catching them off guard at the Boston concert.
The footage emerged after concert attendees trawled through their gig recordings to find more damning evidence of the alleged cheaters.
The CEO and 'Chief People Officer' can be seen on the front row of their tier at the Gillette Stadium in full view of the crowd below.
Chris Martin and his bandmates are directly in their line of vision, showing how openly the colleagues were displaying their affections before being exposed on the big screen.
The grinning couple were initially embracing each other before visibly panicking, covering their faces and slinking to the floor out of view of the camera.
Chris Martin quipped: "Oh what... either they're having an affair or they're very shy."
As he caught view of himself, Byron appeared to say "f****** hell, it's me".
Martin added, laughing nervously: 'Oh s***, I hope we didn't do something bad.'
The humiliating moment prompted a chorus of laughter in the packed 55,000-seater stadium and has since been viewed millions of times online.
The colleagues at Astronomer, a tech company valued at over $1.3billion, were immediately placed on leave.

And the following day, the CEO, who is married to Megan Kerrigan, handed in his resignation.
The company said in a statement: "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.
"Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met."
Pete DeJoy stepped in as CEO and said the viral incident has received "a level of media attention that few companies - let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world - ever encounter."
He wrote on LinkedIn, "The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name."
Megan, who is believed to share two children with Byron, has not yet broken her silence but removed her husband's name from her Facebook profile.
She is now said to be lying low with her family members including her elder sister Maura, at her family's grand mansion in Maine.

The scandal comes just months after Ms Cabot took out a $1.6million mortgage on a house she purchased with her husband Andrew - a sixth-generation heir to the Privateer Rum fortune.
Meanwhile, just months before the scandal, The Cabots purchased a $2.2 million home on the New Hampshire coast in March and did not buy it in cash.
Documents obtained by The U.S. Sun show the couple took out a mammoth loan on the house with Morgan Stanley, and both of their names are on paperwork for the mortgage.
The residence is located just two miles from the beach and was sold "as is" as the home "needs rehab."
It sits on 1.42 acres, with fruit trees, berry bushes, and pastoral views.
The chaos has rippled through Astronomer, with employees and ex-staffers reacting with glee and disbelief.
'Group chats were blowing up,' one former colleague told the New York Post.
'People were laughing their a** off.'
The executive was described as a 'sales-obsessed' leader with a reportedly 'toxic' management style.
Byron previously called Ms Cabot a "proven leader" when she joined the company in November last year as the head of HR.

The CEO gushed: "Kristin's exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory."
Ms Calbot released a similarly enthusiastic comment, saying she thought the "real magic happens when you align the people strategy with the business strategy."
On her LinkedIn, she boasts: "I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants."
The fan who captured the original kiss cam moment told The U.S. Sun she had no idea the couple were senior tech executives.
She said: 'I just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it. A part of me feels bad… but, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.'
During their following performance at the Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, Chris made a sly warning to the crowd ahead of the kiss cam.
He said: "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd.
"We're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.
"So please, if you haven't done your make-up, do your make-up now."
One concert-goer brandished a large sign declaring: "HE'S NOT MY CEO," with an arrow pointing to the man next to her.
Who is Andy Byron?
TECH tycoon Andy Byron is the head of one of the fastest-growing companies in data infrastructure.
He was thrust into the spotlight – literally – when Coldplay's Chris Martin accidentally exposed him seemingly having an affair with a colleague.
Andy Byron was until last week the CEO of Astronomer, a software development company reported to be worth more than $1.3 billion (£1 billion).
He had been in the position since July 2023, according to his LinkedIn page.
Before joining Astronomer, Byron held leadership roles in several technology-focused ventures, bringing a track record in "scaling enterprise tools and building teams across global markets".
He was relatively unknown outside the tech sector... at least until last week.
Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, is said to share two kids with the tech wizz.
It is understood she is lying low at the family's £2.4million four-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion in Maine.
Byron's colleague Kristin Cabot has been Astronomer's Chief People Officer for nine months.
The HR staffer – who has the second surname Thornby in brackets on her LinkedIn – boasts on her page that she wins "trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants".

Mandalorian actor Gina Carano settles lawsuit with Disney – and thanks Elon Musk for funding it
Actor Gina Carano has settled her lawsuit with Disney and Lucasfilm after claiming she was wrongfully dismissed from The Mandalorian for expressing her political opinions. Carano was fired in February 2021 after starring as Rebel ranger Cara Dune in two series of the Disney + Star Wars series The Mandalorian. According to court documents, it came after the 41-year-old referenced the Nazis' treatment of Jewish people while discussing current political differences in the US. At the time, production company Lucasfilm said in a statement that her "social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable". But late on Thursday, she posted on X: "I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved." She added that she "hopes this brings some healing to the force". The details of the financial settlement have not been disclosed. When filing her lawsuit at the Californian District Court last year, she had sought $75,000 (£59,000) in damages. She also thanked Elon Musk for financing the lawsuit, despite the two having never met. "I want to extend my deepest most heartfelt gratitude to Elon Musk, a man I've never met, who did this Good Samaritan deed for me in funding my lawsuit," she wrote in her post. "Thank you Mr. Musk and X for backing my case and asking for nothing in return." The X owner is an ardent advocate of free speech and has funded similar legal battles previously. Carano signed off: "I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. "My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me. Yes, I'm smiling. From my heart to yours, Gina." In response to the settlement, Lucasfilm said in a statement: "Ms Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect. "With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future." In legal documents, Carano's team claimed both Disney and Lucasfilm had "targeted, harassed, publicly humiliated, defamed, and went to great lengths to destroy Carano's career". She also alleged she was treated differently to her male colleagues. Neither company commented on these claims. Lawyer Gene Schaerr, managing partner at Schaerr Jaffe, said at the time: "Disney bullied Ms Carano, trying to force her to conform to their views about cultural and political issues, and when that bullying failed, they fired her. "Punishing employees for their speech on political or social issues is illegal under California law." Carano, who began her career as a mixed martial arts fighter, has starred in other Hollywood franchises, including Fast & Furious 6 as Riley Hicks, and Deadpool, in which she played Angel Dust.

Brad Pitt seen with mom in unearthed pictures from college as he mourns her death
Brad Pitt 's divorce from Angelina Jolie meant that their six children were not only cut out of his life but his mother's as well, Daily Mail can reveal. The actor's kids hadn't seen their doting grandmother Jane Pitt for nine years before her death on Tuesday, aged 84. Sources close to Brad described the situation as 'gut-wrenching' and blamed Angelina for the lack of contact. The source said: 'The most gut-wrenching part is that Angelina kept the kids away from his parents, from their own grandparents. 'The question Brad has – that we all have – is Angelina where is your heart? Are you going to remain bitter for the rest of your life? 'It's one thing if she wants no contact, but what about the kids?' Jane's obituary, printed in the Springfield News-Leader, noted she had 14 grandkids, six of Brad's children, three of his brother Doug's and five of sister Julie's. It read: 'Jane was a gifted artist who expressed herself most vividly through painting. Her love for art became a cherished bond between her and her grandchildren during craft sessions and painting lessons that created lasting memories. 'Known affectionately as "Grammy", Jane found immense joy in celebrating each grandchild's uniqueness through one-on-one traditions lovingly known as "Your Special Day". 'These treasured moments remain among the fondest memories for all fourteen of her grandchildren.' The image of Brad in college was taken while he was studying for a journalism degree at the University of Missouri and was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity which often staged shows. Not long after the photo was taken, he moved to Los Angeles in search of fame and a film career – both of which he achieved in spectacular style. Pitt, 61, was known to be close to his mother. The retired school counselor raised the megastar in the modest town of Springfield, Missouri, alongside his younger siblings Doug, 58 and Julie, 56. Jane was proud of her son's acting career and was supportive of it from the start, even before he got his big break in the 1991 blockbuster Thelma And Louise. But despite his success, Brad has never forgotten his midwestern roots and in 2019, was spotted back in Springfield hugging his mom as dad Bill looked on. Sadly, Bill, like Jane, Brad also been cut off from Shiloh, 19, twins Vivienne and Knox, 17, and their adopted siblings Maddox, 24, Pax, 21 and Zahara, 20. None of them are currently in contact with their dad, and all but Vivienne and Knox have dropped his surname. Grief: Brad is said to be devastated by Angelina's decision to cut his family out of their children's lives, with sources telling Daily Mail he believes she should be encouraging a relationship with their grandparents, even if Jane isn't here to see that wish come to fruition A separate source told Daily Mail that Pitt is determined to win his children back and wants nothing more than for them to be back in his life and that of his family. The insider added: 'Brad wants nothing more than to have resolution with his kids and to restore a relationship with them. If they aren't willing to meet him halfway, that's one thing but he said his own family, especially his parents, and now his dad, shouldn't have to suffer from something they had no part of. 'He said Angelina should have been encouraging the kids to maintain a relationship with their grandparents all along. Hopefully this is a wakeup call. Life is too short and too precious.' Another source said Brad wants his mother to be remembered for who she was: 'a mother to Brad, Julie and Doug, and a grandmother to all their children.' They added: 'Of course it was a shame and hugely emotional that she was unable to see Brad's kids for years, but she also understood what was happening and never took it out on Angelina or her grandchildren as she knew they might not want to talk to her because of the situation with their father. 'It was unfortunate but it became her life, she had to adapt.'

Ex-Tesla engineer who sued Musk for defamation says arbitrator was biased
August 8 (Reuters) - When an arbitrator decides a lawsuit, it's supposed to be the final word. Not so in bitter litigation by a former Tesla engineer who in 2019 sued her ex-employer and CEO Elon Musk for defamation and now claims an arbitrator's award against her should be tossed because he was biased. The case is set for a hearing on August 19 in San Francisco Superior Court, where plaintiff Cristina Balan faces a high legal hurdle to prove the arbitrator acted improperly in ruling against her in 2021 -- an assertion that Tesla in court papers, opens new tab calls "nonsense." Still, the dispute raises what strikes me as an important question about arbitration: How to ensure decision-makers don't favor big companies that refer scores of cases to arbitration each year, choosing the forum and often paying the fees. Unlike federal and state court judges, whose salaries come from taxpayers, arbitrators have an economic incentive to cultivate customers who'll use their services again and again. The result can be what some scholars have termed the 'repeat player effect," in which companies that frequently refer cases to arbitration tend to win the cases more often. It's a longstanding concern. For example, a widely cited study, opens new tab in 1997 found workers won less often in cases against employers that used the same alternative dispute resolution provider repeatedly. And when the workers did win, they were awarded significantly less money than their counterparts facing employers that were one-off arbitration customers. Since then, multiple researchers have documented, opens new tab similar results. What's less clear is if repeat-player success stems from the experience companies gain through arbitrating multiple times in the private, non-precedential forum, or if it's an indication of arbitrator bias. Arbitration providers and the American Bar Association in ethics guidelines, opens new tab stress that decision-makers are required to be impartial and independent. Balan told me she sees repeat-player dynamics in her arbitration challenge. Her bias allegations were previously reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. In alleging 'corruption in the form of a quid pro quo,' Balan claims, opens new tab that a San Francisco-based arbitrator got at least seven more appointments to hear Tesla or Musk-related disputes after being assigned her case in 2019 -- his first-ever arbitration involving the electric car maker. Retired California Court of Appeal Justice Richard McAdams accepted the other appointments both while Balan's case was ongoing and after it was completed, she alleges, arguing that this unduly influenced him to side with the company for personal gain. McAdams, who works at for-profit alternative dispute resolution provider JAMS, dismissed Balan's complaint in 2021 as time-barred. Balan also claims McAdams failed to promptly disclose one of the new Tesla arbitrations he was picked for while her case was pending -- an assertion that Tesla lawyers dispute -- and that she'd have moved to disqualify him if he had. McAdams and Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. A JAMS spokesperson said the company 'doesn't typically comment on disputes handled by our neutrals,' and declined to do so here. Tesla's lawyers from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius in court papers, opens new tab take issue with the premise of Balan's complaint. It's an 'every-day event' for arbitrators at JAMS as well as its competitors to accept additional cases involving the same party, they said. An arbitrator 'is not guilty of corruption, fraud, undue means or anything close simply for doing so,' wrote Morgan Lewis partner Michael Weil, who did not respond to a request for comment. 'The case law does not support Balan's arguments.' He also argues Balan waited too long to file her petition to vacate the award. JAMS has a roster of about 500 retired judges and attorneys that oversee more than 21,000 cases annually, according to the company's website, opens new tab. Repeat customers include Tesla, which in contracts has designated JAMS to hear some disputes involving employees and customers. According to his JAMS bio, opens new tab, McAdams became an arbitrator after a 34-year judicial career in California, starting in small claims court and culminating in his elevation to the Sixth District Court of Appeal in 2003. He joined JAMS in 2011. The parties in JAMS arbitrations don't typically hand-pick who hears their case, Tesla lawyers point out. Instead, each side is given a list of names to strike and rank to come up with someone mutually acceptable – which is how McAdams got Balan's defamation suit. The case has its roots in her tenure at Tesla, where she worked from 2010 to 2014 as a design engineer in California. Balan alleges she was forced to resign after raising internal alarms about potential safety hazards, claims that Tesla has denied. In 2017, the Huffington Post ran an article about Balan's exit. In response, Tesla said Balan 'booked an unapproved trip to New York at Tesla's expense' and 'spent company time working on a 'secret project' without her manager's approval,' among other statements that Balan claims are false and defamatory. About 16 months after the article appeared, Balan sued Tesla, opens new tab for defamation in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, where she was living at the time. A spokesperson for the Huffington Post, which is not a defendant in the suit, did not respond to a request for comment. The ensuing litigation was procedurally complex, but the upshot was that Balan was compelled to arbitrate her case. Her claim hinged on what law to apply: Washington, which has a two-year statute of limitations for defamation, or California, with a one-year time limit. Although Balan said the parties initially agreed the substantive law of Washington would control, McAdams later decided on California law, writing that Balan's employment agreement with Tesla specified it and her defamation claims stemmed from that relationship, among other factors. For Balan, it was game over. Her case was dismissed as time-barred. Was the ruling the result of bias? The Federal Arbitration Act permits a court to vacate an arbitration award 'where there was evident partiality' by an arbitrator, but the law doesn't spell out exactly what that looks like. Tesla lawyers say California law requires proof that the award was procured through "corruption, fraud, or other undue means" to overturn the results of an arbitration. It will now fall to San Francisco Superior Court Judge Joseph Quinn to decide whether Balan has met that burden, and if the merits of her defamation claim will ever be reviewed by a court or arbitrator.
