The folks in the arena counting ballots must, by law (not that anyone cares) keep the ballots in a secure area - locked and guarded room - until they ballots are needed for counting.
Being hidden under a table should by itself broken the chain of custody.
Being counted without poll watchers is another violation.
The video seems to show more than one person running the same ballots through more than once, without marking the end of the batch in the counter.
I cannot respond to Giuliani’s people and their work, but the basic video is damning enough.
And nothing was ever done.

They were not “hidden” under tables. The processed (i.e. removed from envelopes) but uncounted ballots were placed in the crates, security sealed, and then placed under the tables all in the presence of media, state monitors, and poll watchers. You can see this in the video. Despite the very misleading testimony of Guiliani, et. al. to GA state legislators, this seems like fairly standard operations.

GA election law states that polls watchers “shall be allowed to observe”, but it doesn’t require them to be present. From the video it appears that they left of their own volition — nobody forced them to leave or (from what I can tell) even directly asked them to leave. Media (and presumably poll watchers) in other parts of State Farm knew that counting had resumed in that room. We know this because the two Republican poll watchers said that they were informed of this by members of the media still at State Farm.
