How to View and Customize Hotkeys in Zoom
For its desktop version clients zoom has lots of useful keyboard shortcuts, you will find them in the setting menu.
For Windows PC or Apple Mac users, you just easily click the setting cog in the top right corner to edit the hotkeys combination as per your need. If you are a LINUX user then you need to click the profile icon to access the settings menu. Next click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab form the left side of your interface to change the current setup of zoom hotkey for your computer. The good thing is you can do this hotkeys setting during a call.
Next, you need to click any shortcut to edit it. You need to press the exact key which you want to assign and particular command, and it will change automatically. Or even you can use multiple keys by pressing them,such as Alt+Shift+9 or just press only 9.
If you want to disable a keyboard shortcut, it’s simple just click the key and press DEL to empty it, and then you need to press Enter, that’s it. Zoom will auto remove the keyboard shortcut and give you a new option for that key.
