On April 16, between 2:25 P.M. ET and 4:12 P.M. ET, the domain zoom.us was not available due to a server block by GoDaddy Registry. This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. Zoom, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy worked quickly to identify and remove the block, which restored service to the domain zoom.us. There was no product, security or network failure at Zoom during the outage. GoDaddy and Markmonitor are working together to prevent this from happening again.

macOS: control-option-command-H (Hide task bar) function has changed. Return to prior?

I use Zoom to conduct online training.  A recent update to the software changed the behavior of the shortcut keys Control-Option-Command-H, which is used to hide the "task bar" from my view.  Pressing the ESCape key restores its visibility.

 

Before the update, the key combination was universal:  Irrespective of which program I might have in "focus" (I do behind-the-scenes operations while attendees are viewing slides on my main shared display).   Now, the combination is no longer universal;  I have to click on the task bar to bring it into "focus," which requires me sometimes to stop what I'm doing to move the task bar out of the way.  The ESCape key, however has stayed universal. 

 

Is there a setting I can tweak to return the old functionality, or conversely, use an AppleScript or Shortcut to pass the combination to Zoom?  I note that Zoom does not have an AppleScript dictionary, nor does it appear on Shortcuts app screen, so I think this approach may be doomed to failure.  

 

I'm not sure why Zoom changed their approach to this hotkey combination, but I'd like it back!
