t doesn’t take a surreptitious phone camera to get caught in a viral video. Smartphones have cast a decentralized web of surveillance over the world, with bystanders ready to document and broadcast any incident containing a hint of drama. But what Andy Byron, the former C.E.O. of the data-tracking software company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the head of human resources at the same company, had to fear was a good old-fashioned jumbotron.

Byron, who is married, dodged off camera.
