If my second interview was cut short and not even 10minutes, is that a bad sign?

I did perfectly fine on my first phone interview but I feel like my second interview didn’t go well. She said she would be interviewing more people and will get into contact with me later in the week. At the beginning of the interview she asked me what my reasoning for being three minutes late was but I was having computer difficulties.

Edit more detail on to what happened

I feel like the first interview went amazing the day before on the phone but unfortunately that person was a recruiter not the hiring manager. But as soon as I logged on my zoom the hiring manager said hello and I said hello back with a smile but then she immediately asked me what my reasoning for being late was (three minutes) and I told her I was having difficulty with my computer, because I was.

She then asked about my past experiences were and so on, but towards the end she asked me if I’m currently working at my job that I’m employed with and then I told her I put in my two weeks and she asked why I put in my two weeks if I don’t have a current job lined up and I told her, I wanted to try something new but she caught me by surprise when she asked that because the other person the day before (the recruiter) when I mentioned I put in my two weeks she seemed excited for me and told me all the details and I was really looking forward to getting it. I just felt completely thrown off with how the she was acting and asking things the whole time, I felt like her energy was off and then it threw me off too and I actually felt nervous for the first time in an interview.
