Operesheni ya Msingi

The Linkidea controller features two distinct buttons for controlling your Zoom meeting:

  • Kitufe cha Maikrofoni: This button, typically marked with a microphone icon, allows you to toggle your microphone's mute status. Pressing it will mute your microphone if it's unmuted, and unmute it if it's muted.
  • Kitufe cha Video: This button, typically marked with a video camera icon, allows you to toggle your video feed. Pressing it will stop your video if it's active, and start it if it's stopped.

Zoom Application Settings

For the Linkidea controller to function correctly, especially when the Zoom application is not the active window, you may need to adjust a setting within the Zoom app:

  1. Open the Zoom Meeting application on your macOS device.
  2. Navigate to Zoom's Preferences/Settings.
  3. Go to the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' section.
  4. Ensure that the option to "Enable Global Shortcut" (or similar wording) is activated for the microphone mute/unmute (Shift-Cmd-A) and video start/stop (Shift-Cmd-V) shortcuts. This allows the controller to send commands to Zoom even when another application is in the foreground.

Kumbuka Muhimu: The controller is designed to work specifically with the macOS Zoom Meeting application. It is not compatible with Windows operating systems or browser-based Zoom applications. Furthermore, it functions best when the Zoom application is the active window or when global shortcuts are enabled.
