screen sharing a particular screen using hot keys

[James28]

Hello, 

I have a question about sharing a particular screen using hotkeys.

I use a stream deck in my Zoom meetings, and often, I use the notes section on my external iPad to draw something out for the other person on the call.

Using the stream deck, I can use the 'share screen' function (as a hotkey), but then I have to manually select (with my mouse) the 'advanced share' function to use my iPad notes section for the screen share.

Can I bypass the manual aspect to automatically share the 'advanced share screen'?

I have contacted Stream Deck support, and they have directed me to Zoom.

If there is a hotkey function on Zoom, I can get the streamdeck to use it.

I really appreciate any help you can provide. 

James

There some "keyboard shortcuts". Go to settings >keyboard shortcuts to see what is available. The closest possible one might be alt+shift+S.

If that does not work for you then you may want to consider a totally different workflow such as using a mirroring link thru OBS Studio or using a video capture link from the ipad to OBS Studio. However you will probably need multiple screens. OBS Studio can then be used as a sophisticated switcher to send output to Zoom via screen share or virtual camera or via NDI.

Thanks very much for your reply. 

My concern is how to instruct my streamdeck/Zoom to recognise that when I press a button (the share screen to my iPad only), it will do this and this only. I wondered if using the multi-action task on my streamdeck may be an option, too.

I have no knowledge on OBS. I'll do some research to see if this can resolve this.

Thanks again for your reply.
