Become a Zoom Master with These 8 Key Commands
These days, we spend as much time in Zoom meeting rooms as in the actual physical rooms of our house. That’s why learning some basic key commands and shortcuts can help you better navigate this new space saving time.
If you go to your Zoom settings and select Keyboard Shortcuts, you can edit and personalize every key command for your future meetings. However, there are many shortcuts set by default. Here are the 8 we find more useful.
