🌟 Stream Deck Plugin Enhancement Suggestions
Dear Zoom Team,
First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the official Stream Deck plugin. It has significantly improved the way I interact with Zoom during meetings and webinars. The integration is smooth, intuitive, and adds real value to hosts and participants alike.
As a frequent host and co-host, I would like to suggest a few features that could further enhance the plugin’s functionality and usability:
🔊 Audio Control Enhancements
- It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to mute the three Zoom audio sliders in the Windows Volume Mixer directly via Stream Deck.
- Even better would be the option to set each slider to a specific percentage level, allowing for more granular control over Zoom’s audio output.
👥 Host/Co-Host Controls
Pre-Meeting Mute Setup
A function that allows the host to automatically mute all participants before the meeting starts, with the option to disable self-unmute.Reverse Functionality
The ability to re-enable self-unmute for participants and send a general “Request to Unmute” to everyone.Smart Hand & Mic Control
When a participant raises their hand and is granted microphone access, a Stream Deck button that:- Automatically lowers their hand
- Mutes their microphone after their response
(Logic: Hand is raised + Mic is unmuted → One-click action to reset both)
Speaker View Window Management
A button to move the speaker view window to a second monitor and maximize it, with the ability to return it to the main screen when needed.Focus on Active Speaker
A button to spotlight the current speaker for all participants with one click.Toggle Participant List
A simple toggle to show/hide the participant list via Stream Deck
These points are of concern to me based on my years of live experience, which is why I acquired the Stream Deck. Unfortunately, for a long time, reliable control was not possible due to a lack of API access. Essential prerequisites always had to be met first. Even then, only workarounds were possible, which were never entirely effective. I am aware of and very grateful for the fact that the main program is constantly being improved. I am very much looking forward to seeing how the Stream Deck plugin will now also become an increasingly valuable assistant.Thank you again for the excellent work done so far.
Best regards.
