While it's been extremely successful over the last few years, Zoom isn't the most user friendly of apps.
There have been a lot of conversations in many households about how to do pretty much everything in Zoomland. And it's no surprise; this is a business-orientated tool that's been thrust into the limelight and repurposed for pub quizzes and random wine-orientated catchups everywhere. While we're on the road back to normality, there's no denying that Zoom has become an essential part of most of our daily lives.
Keyboard shortcuts can take a bit of the pain out of using Zoom, since you often do things repeatedly - like muting and unmuting your microphone. To that end, we've selected only the most useful shortcuts here, ordered by operating system for ease of finding.
If the defaults don't suit you, you can re-assign shortcuts in your Zoom desktop client for both PC and Mac. Just click your profile picture, then Settings, then Keyboard Shortcuts.Â
