Tip of the Day
Want to impress friends and family on your next Zoom meet-up –- whatever your need, these are the Zoom shortcuts for you.
One of the most used features of Zoom is the trusty mute and unmute option. That's why it's good to use a solid keyboard shortcut so you know you're definitely muted.
If you're on a PC then you'll need to use Alt + A to mute and unmute your own mic. To mute or unmute the mics of your students it's Alt + M.
For those on a Mac it's Cmd + A for your mic and Cmd + M for your students.
