Please tell me the Mac version of this ..

Well I need the shortcut key for the current version.. because I am using my company zoom and I can't just downgrade it myself ㅠㅡㅠ

I am pretty sure there will be the shortcut key for language channel shifting in macbook..  I saw people using it and I definitely need one since I can't do my job with my mouse with more than 20 people talking in their own language....


Somebody who didn't test it  said that the shortcut was   Shift + Command + Space

Could you please try and please let us know if it worked ?

It's cmd+shift+L

 

I assume you need this now because the latest update apparently has a Mac glitch that affect the interpreter's control and causes the bar to disappear or move around the screen randomly. Please let me know if this solves the problem. A lot of colleagues are reporting the same issue (I'm on PCs, so I can't test it myself)

As noted above, it is a known issue with the latest version of ZOOM on Mac OS devices.

Your only options at present are to find an earlier version (if you kept a 5.13.3 file, for exampls), uninstall the current version and install the old one (be sure that you don't have "automatic updates" selected for your account) or, alternatively, try an external device such as Streamdeck. @cyril Flerov has suggestions. See his LinkedIn.

hello everyone, now when we have found the shortcut for Mac, the solution should work: if you get the simplest version of Streamdeck, https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Stream-Deck-Mini-customizable/dp/B07DYRS1WH/ref=sr_1_6?crid=12LNJ1M8YH8KR&keywords=stream+deck&qid=1676212970&sprefix=streamdeck%2Caps%2C427&sr=8-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840

[works both in Mac and in Windows] you will be able to configure 1 of the buttons to act as a language switcher. What I recommend to do is to create a multi-action button that will first  recall zoom to the foreground and then switch the language. Then even if you are not actively showing the zoom window [for example if you open the word document] if the language switches all you need to do is to press the button, Zoom is going to be brought to your screen automatically and the languages going to be automatically switched. No keyboard/mouse fiddling involved 🙂 if you use any other keyboard shortcuts in zoom, Streamdeck allows you to configure any of them. I did not test it  on Mac, but for Windows it works for me perfectly.
