Zoom on my New IMAC and Hotkeys

Hello Everyone!

I have an important question for all of you as it relates to Zoom. First of all, I used Zoom on my new IMac Computer and I discovered that none of the short cuts for raising my hand and all are not enabled. This is especially true when I join my Zoom Meetings with ACB, and the whole 9 yards.

So, here's my question. Since I have a brand new IMac Computer, how am I supposed to enable the KEyboard Showrtcuts in order for me to use Zoom? Am I supposed to do something in the computer's settings under voice over or accessibility?

Or, am I required to download Zoom Client in order for me to set up the shortcuts/keyboard hot keys? If I have to Download Zoom Client, am I required to download Firefox and Chrome in order for me to do it right? Plus, if I do have to download Chrome or Firefox in order for me to download Zoom Client, does this mean that I have to go to Zoom MEetings differently in order for me to use the KEyboard Shortcuts or will they have to be attended on Chrome or firefox in order for it to work?

Anyway, I would greatly appreciate somebody's help to no end as it would be a whole lot easier for me to enable the keyboard shortcuts, and so much more.

Hi,

First, download the Zoom client for Mac. It is very accessible and the keyboard hotkeys work well.

Second, unless you tend to wander away from your computer, keeping your Mic muted and using the "push to talk" feature" is super handy. Do this by holding down space whenever you speak.

Third, with the Zoom client installed, it will not matter which browser you use, as any Zoom meetings you join, let us say by a browser hyperlink, will open the Zoom client.

I hope this has answered some of your questions. 😅
