Do you ever feel you are fumbling around in Zoom, looking for this and that? Especially when the meeting controls ribbon is hidden, I feel like I am always looking for a quicker way to do what I want. Well, I just discovered that there are many keyboard shortcuts you can memorize and use to move about much more smoothly.

Here are a few of the ones I think will be most useful.

Of course, I won’t remember all these instantly so here is my plan. I have a goal of memorizing one at a time until I know all them. I will use one or more of these during each upcoming meeting. And I am making myself a job aid I can keep in sight. If you want me to send you my job aid, just drop me a line, or cut and paste the shortcuts above and print your own.

Maybe you have other needs, like taking a screen shot or jumping to chat with someone. You will find many more shortcuts under “settings” and then “keyboard shortcuts.”
