Can Zoom create additional keyboard shortcuts for Android and iOS especially with hand raising, mute/unmute, and video on/off? This way we can use our attached keyboard for iPads and Android Tablets. Mahalo! 🤙

Hey, @balicha! The iPad supports keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys, but Android does not at this time. Please suggest this to zoom.us/feed for the addition of Android! Thanks!

 

If you are using an iPad with a keyboard, the following shortcuts are available in a Zoom meeting:

  • Command + Shift + A: Mute/unmute my audio
  • Command + Shift + V: Start/stop my video
  • Command + Shift + H: Display/hide chat
  • Command + Shift + M: Minimize meeting
  • Command + U: Display/hde manage participants
  • Command + W: Close the front window, such as the participants or meeting settings window

Thanks RN, I'm just hoping for the keyboard shortcut for 'Hand Raise'. If Zoom could add that that'll be great. -Mahalo! Sam

Thanks for the shortcuts. Especially the one to show and hide the chat box. But how can you start typing in the chat box using a keyboard on an iPad, please?
