Keyboard shortcuts
Run a session from the keyboard in the Mac and Windows app: microphone, camera, sharing, the Asset queue, PDF pages and recording.
The Mac and Windows app can be run entirely from the keyboard. The shortcuts are the same as Zoom's wherever Zoom has one, so they'll feel familiar.
Every shortcut is also listed in the Session menu, next to what it does, and the menu always says what pressing it will do right now (for example Mute Microphone or Unmute Microphone). When you use one, the result is shown large on screen and read out by VoiceOver.
On Windows, use Ctrl wherever the Mac uses ⌘.

Sharing and the Asset queue
| Mac | Windows | What it does |
|---|---|---|

| ⌘⇧T | Ctrl+Shift+T | Pause or resume sharing |
| ⌘] | Ctrl+] | Next item in the queue |
| ⌘[ | Ctrl+[ | Previous item in the queue |
| ⌘⇧M | Ctrl+Shift+M | Mute or unmute the video on your own computer (the room still hears it) |
| ⌘⌥↑ | Ctrl+Shift+↑ | Shared sound louder for the room |
| ⌘⌥↓ | Ctrl+Shift+↓ | Shared sound quieter for the room |
PDFs in the Asset queue
| Mac | Windows | What it does |
|---|---|---|

| ⌘← | Ctrl+← | Previous page |
| ⌘⇧= | Ctrl+Shift+= | Zoom in |
| ⌘⇧- | Ctrl+Shift+- | Zoom out |
| ⌘⇧0 | Ctrl+Shift+0 | Fit the page to the frame |
If you've clicked into the PDF itself, the plain arrow keys turn pages too.
Using the shortcuts from other apps
Turn on Session → Shortcuts Work in Other Apps and these keep working while another app is in front, as Zoom's "global shortcut" setting does: microphone, camera, switch camera, share, pause sharing and recording. They only do this while you're in a call.
