The following are some useful tips for using Zoom. These also include a few links to many of the visual "Getting-Started Information" for those who are sighted.
1. Keyboard Commands
Whether you are a sighted, blind, or low vision Zoom user, it is strongly recommended to use keyboard commands whenever possible.
The full list of hot keys is found here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/205683899-Hot-Keys-and-Keyboard-for-Zoom
Please note that there are many hot keys that Zoom offers, but most participants will only use a few of them. It is important for those users who depend on the mouse that a hot key will not work if the Zoom meeting window is not in focus. To put the Zoom Meeting window in focus, either click it or hold down the ALT key, then press TAB until it gains focus.
