We all use Zoom or Teams. These shortcuts may help you. All the best!
Today’s re-post is by Troy Lowe; Vice President of Development at SafeSourcing.
With a lot of people spending more time working from home, you might have been introduced to the world of video conferencing. There a lot of apps that you can use for video conferencing and one of the most popular right now is Zoom. If you spend a lot of time using the Zoom application, you could save some time and be more efficient by learning some of the built in shortcuts. The keyboard shortcuts are used by clicking a combination of the keyboard keys. Two things that you probably do most often while using zoom can be done by using the shortcuts “Alt+V” and “Alt+A”. These two shortcuts allow you to start/stop the video and to mute/unmute the audio. Besides these two shortcuts there are many more shortcuts available for use. For example, using “F6” will allow you to navigate among the zoom popup windows and “Ctrl+Alt+Shift” will move focus to Zoom’s meeting controls. Memorizing the available keyboard shortcuts will make you more efficient because you don’t have to remove your hands from the keyboard to use the mouse. Below are some other shortcuts that can be used.
