Why doesn't the "Type '/' to insert' feature work on iPad or iPhone app?

Hi. I might be missing something. But I cannot get the feature to open the 'Insert' menu option on iOS or iPadOS Zoom App or browser. How can I enable this feature? Or is that that it does not work? 

 

Thanks a lot. m.

Hi, you can create a table by bringing up the keyboard and using the toolbar above it. Simply tap the "+" button on the far left.

If the feature is not available on iPadOS, how do I insert a table or some other content? Thanks!

Thanks. That worked.

Feed back for Zoom. Because I use a Leónidas with the iPad is very counter intuitive to have to bring up the onscreen menu to get access to the ‘+’ menu. Ideally, when an iPad is connected to a keyboard, this option should be visible somewhere else. 

When an external keyboard is connected to an iPad, there are still some functional experiences that we need to improve. Thank you for your feedback—this improvement has already been added to our requirement pool.

Thank you. Is there any reason why the '/' shortcut could not be used on the iPad? It would work great if you had the keyboard attached. 

This part has not been developed yet, but we will consider supporting it in the future
